I do care - but only in the sense that I may find myself in the with an abend that generates a dump - that I cannot re-create on demand - I would like the first svc dump to count - so as was pointed out, *I* do not analyze SVC dumps - I want to make darn sure that the people who *DO* have what they need the first time

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... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.
