No, those DCB parameters are not supported. I don't have immediate access to the open processing at the moment, so I can't say how the error condition would currently be handled. I believe that the code that opens SYSMDUMP uses a DCB with RECFM=FBS,LRECL=4160 supplied. The DCB wins when logical conflicts occur, so the DCB OPEN exit receives control with BLKSIZE=3120 still incorrectly shown. Then the DCB exit will either fix the mismatched LRECL and BLKSIZE or will suffer an ABEND when OPEN is asked to continue. A successful repair of BLKSIZE would cause that data set to be overwritten and DCB attributes set to RECFM=FBS, LRECL=4140, and BLKSIZE=4160.
