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.

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.
Rick,
I think (since at least 2.0) there were multiple sys1.dumpxx
datesets. Its stretching my memory but IIRC the "limit" was the
number of cataloged sys1.dumpxx datasets Maybe someone that has a
better memory can pipe up.
