I have received dumps from top secret government

programmatically redacted. The dumps were pre-formatted by
the customer (the output of various IPCS commands against
the original dump file). All names of things (userid,
system, sysplex, NJE node, JES member, etc.) in the dump
were replaced with the characters XXXX in both hex and
EBCDIC portions of each line. Amazingly, I have been able to
solve problems using such dumps!
Ed:
Interesting thanks for the information. I am wondering how you handle stand
alone dumps?
As I said, the customer issues the IPCS command and then sends the
output through some sort of filtering program that redacts the
information. (I believe there is also a manual review to be sure the
program didn't miss anything.)
