I'm confused (like *that's* something new). SYSMDUMPs are binary files which are usually processed in IPCS or maybe AbendAid (I use AbendAid to import the SYSMDUMP, then process it sometimes). My chance did you mean SYSUDUMP? That is usually what is put out to SPOOL with leading carriage controls. Stripping those out would make sense to me.
