So... Give us a clue. LRECL/BLKSIZE/RECFM? What does the content look like?
Any obvious character strings? Maybe compressed? Anything to be gleaned
from the dsname? Is there reason to believe this thing came from Abend-aid
beyond that someone said so?

As an ISV we've got lots of Abend-aid dumps, but they've always been kind
of printed dumps for kindergartners, and they never do well with our kind
of authorized cross-memory environment. But they may well be helpful for
things like an 0C6 in a COBOL program. We ask customers to always send us
an SVC/SLIP dump, or if they really must, a SYSMDUMP.
