From MVS in the '80s, maybe? I thought it was an official IBM term but
I can find no references to it so maybe it was a local term where I was
working. Damage assentment Routine Dump? If it was an official term,
what was it? An SVC dump?
This is just idle curiosity mostly.
------------------<unsnip>------------------
It was, but at that time you only had a single SYS1.DUMP dataset. The
term originated under OS/360, when we (FINALLY) got a Service Aid
program to copy it somewhere else and re-init the SYS1.DUMP dataset.
