Yes, as soon as I found out about SYSMDUMP/IPCS I never used
SYSUDUMP/SYSABEND again.
But it's still good to see code from Sam Bass. I worked with him on a
mainframe installation around 2016 and he was one of those people who
could do everything from A-Z. I think he's retired now.

IPCS is so much more convenient than formatted dumps. I would not be upset if
IBM dropped support for SYSUDUMP and SYSABEND.

Don't forget about the possibility of using IPCS Active to run IPCS against the
live system.
There are a lot of control block formatters and find routines provided by z/OS.
