What information is missing when you take a dump for the abend code? I've always found everything I need. STATUS REGS gives you the PSW and regs at the time of abend.
Alternatively, you could set a slip for the abend message IEA995I. In IPCS, you display the linkage stack for the active task (IP CBF 0 STR(LS) should work too). Run the save area chain from R13. R1 from the first save area should point to the RTM2WA. You can use CBF xxxx STR(RTM2WA) to format it. In a very few situations, the slip won't stop execution (e.g. PC routines) and storage is altered before the dump completes. This is seldom the case but if it is, let us know and we can help you get the appropriate dump.
