  In MVS, a unit of work is a TCB or an SRB/SSRB.  But SLIP A=SYNCSVCD
works only with enabled unlocked TCBs. 

  Every SVCDUMP sets the tasks in an address space nondispatchable
while dumping that address space.  But for an asynchronous dump, 
this is asynchronous with repsect to the unit of work which issued
the SDUMP macro.
