While the provision remains for SADMP and SDUMP to indicate "I don't know the storage key" in dump records, storage keys are now nearly always available where IPCS can access them easily. This changed for the better in z/OS V1R2 (HBB7705). Your reliance on RSMDATA presumes that RSM data areas will be available in a dump. This has been true historically, but the practice has been getting scrutiny as customers have been able to run with ever larger amounts of main storage. You may need to get familiar with DISPLAY(MACHINE) as an option since some dumps may eventually only have storage key information for storage that the dumping process decided was important enough to dump. If dumped pages have RSM attributes that are sufficiently important that you would want them captured along with each dumped page and formatted via DISPLAY(MACHINE), let us know. We tried to put enough reserved space in the front of dump records when we went from LRECL=4104 to LRECL=4160 (remember HBB3310?) so we could add more vital attributes to those captured today, but that has only become relevant as memory prices have fallen in recent years.
