All of the "LIKE" options are well documented for IARV64. In the z/OS 2.1 books, SDUMPX's SDATA CSA and RGN options have this information (LSQA does not, and SQA's has an obvious type of mentioning DUMP=LIKECSA instead of DUMP=LIKESQA, and RGN's is incomplete in mentioning only SVCDUMPRGN=YES and not DUMP=LIKERGN). SDUMP's does not have the info. IEATDUMP's does not. Here's an example from SDUMPX's RGN: "Note: A 64-bit addressable memory object is RGN-dumpable if it is created with the IARV64 GetStor SVCDumpRGN=YES value. "
It seems that the obtainer of the storage should know under what circumstances it would get into SDUMP(X) -- since, in effect, that is within the doc for obtaining the storage -- but that the user of a DUMP command might not (thus the need to describe SDATA better for the dumping operations). Are analogous additions to the SDATA descriptions (such as within SDUMP(X), IEATDUMP, DUMP command, CHNGDUMP) what you are looking for? If so, then we can certainly include that. For the SLIP command, the SDATA keyword refers you to the CHNGDUMP command so there's no need to update the SLIP command's SDATA. Are there others?
