What manual? From z/OS MVS Programming: Assembler Services Reference,
Volume 2 (IAR-XCT), SA22-7607-15:
67.1.4 Programming Requirements
Before you issue the SNAP macro, you must open the DCB that you
designate on the DCB parameter, and ensure that the DCB is not
closed until the SNAP macro returns control. To open the DCB,
issue the DCB macro with the following parameters, and issue an
OPEN macro for the data set (the DCB and OPEN macros are
described in MVS/DFP(TM) Macro Instructions for Data Sets):
DSORG=PS,RECFM=VBA,MACRF=(W),BLKSIZE=nnn,LRECL=xxx,
and DDNAME=any name but SYSABEND, SYSMDUMP or SYSUDUMP
If a standard dump of 120 characters per line is requested,
BLKSIZE must be either 882 or 1632, and LRECL must be 125.
Going all the way back to an OS/360 manual, I still see 125, so it's
not something that changed recently.
