As someone who spends a considerable amount of time reading dumps,
I have some requirements for anyone who uses a product like this on a dump
and then sends the dump to IBM.
1. You must inform IBM that the dump you are sending has been modified.
2. You must supply a list of all of the modified or deleted storage
ranges.
This could be a report produced by the product. Or,
the product could append SC (COMPDATA) records to the dump,
which contain descriptions of the storage ranges which have been
omitted or modified. The 8 character component identifier for these
records would be something which starts with a 3 character prefix
that
IBM has assigned to the vendor.
