<snip> It seems odd to me that MVS needs all those "built-in" SLIPs to suppress dumps. I would expect most of those are abends that didn't request a dump in the first place. </snip>
That is not how taking of abend dumps truly works. The issuer of an abend does not have to request a dump in order for there to be a dump taken. The SLIP traps are an effective, flexible, and code-efficient way of enforcing the rules that IBM wants to be enforced.
