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. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
