  SETUP DUMP=YES causes RTM2 to initiate a 
SYSUDUMP/SYSABEND/SYSMDUMP after the ESTAE(X)/ARR returns
to RTM2.  SDUMP(X) and IEATDUMP initiate a dump 
immediately (although for SDUMP(X), depending on the
options and environment, the SUMDUMP might be the only 
thing which is captured synchronously).

 There is no preferred method.  It depends on your 
environment, which kind of dump you want, and when 
you want it to be initiated.
