We produce SYSMDUMP's with DISP=MOD, and the SYSMDUMP dataset contains a

Any method to select the second etc. dump?
( I see I could use GENER to copy from the 'DR2 H' header)
Any better idea maybe ?
Using DISP=MOD is a good idea. ISPF, for one, can see some applications
ABENDs that produce dumps and, in turn, conclude that its "physical
screen task" is a potential villain. When that happens, you'll get two,
related dumps from a single incident. The first, generated closest to
the point of error is likely to be the best one, and it can be directly
examined using IPCS. The header record for the 2nd will be treated as a
logical EOF for IPCS purposes. But you asked about the 2nd, 3rd, ....
The IPCS COPYDUMP subcommand was designed to address this situation,
allowing you to manually walk through the contents of a data set and
select which logical dump(s) that you want copied to data sets by
themselves. The many return codes that can be generated should, in
principle, also allow you to come up with a command procedure that helps
you perform the processing your way.
