<snip> 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. </snip>
In what way did I assume a lot of z/OS specific knowledge? You asked how to view registers and storage with IPCS. I gave you some simple examples of how to do so. STATUS FAILDATA does not show system control blocks for the most part. Browse and the L command let you look at whatever storage you want. It is up to you to decide what you want to look at. Surely mentioning a SYSMDUMP DD statement is not "into the grass". Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design
