I've also always wondered why RGN was not part of default SDATA for the
MVS DUMP command, since without it most dumps can't be properly
analyzed. Is there an equally logical explanation for that?
For system problems, RGN is often unnecessary. And apparenty customers
often don't think it's necessary or they'd add it to their installation
defaults.
FWIW, I have a feeling that many (most?) customers don't analyze SVC
dumps often if ever; they have no opinion one way or the other about the
necessity of RGN. :( IBM or an ISV will likely provide an SDATA= string
for any dump they request, so the defaults really don't matter to them...
