But, is this what *most* shops do?
Or just
keep them ignorant of it. Why would a "normal" programmer ever want to
use IPCS?
It's the only way I know to analyze a SYSMDUMP or a data set created by
the IEATDUMP macro -- a dump service intended for ordinary,
problem-state application program use.

1. I agree that few shops let applications programmers at IPCS
2. Mainly by keeping them in the dark
3. I think this started out a long time ago because SYSMDUMPs
created large outputs (filling spool?) and were thought to
be only for IBM support
4. Even if they had access to them, most programmers would not
care to look; as John pointed out, they simply consider the
dump unreadable.
