Peter,
You are way deeper into the grass than I am. To the point that most of
what you said assumes that I have a lot of z/OS specific knowledge I
don't have.
You give me a z/VSE system dump and I could probably run circles around
you, but the way z/OS is doing dumps, including this IPCS stuff, is a
foreign language to me.
All I really want to do is display the registers and storage belonging
to the current job at any abend. I don't need the supervisor areas (CVT,
etc).

When I add a DC X'0000' and I force a SOC1, I don't see any
dump added to IPCS.

If your program has a SYSMDUMP DD statement and your program ends with an
operation exception, you will get a SYSMDUMP.
Where you have targeted that SYSMDUMP is up to you. It is up to you to
tell IPCS what dump you are looking at.
Within IPCS, "browse" is a way to look at storage, or the "L" (list)
command.
"IPCS STATUS FAILDATA" is a good place to start.
For the cases described, SDUMP is not appropriate (even if you're allowed
to do so).
