Thanks.  That helps.  But now, to really understand this,  all I have to 
do is find out how the SDUMPX is coded when VTAM dumps DB2 because
something died in a VTAM exit in DB2.   I have no idea if the criteria for
a BRANCH entry are met (I suspect they could be.) and if so, if the
BARSNCH entry was taken.  I suspect not since the dump title said 
SYNCH.

>From a data collection standpoint, that's good.  From a processing 
standpoint, that's bad.  DB2 has a lot it could be doing completely 
unrelated to its VTAM exit that abended.  Hopefully data capture 
does not take long, but I think DB2 address spaces can be big.
