Is a DSN like: SYS1.ADR.SAIPLD.Vvolser on the volume? If no, then I don't believe that it can be used for SADUMP. If fairly sure that just having the IPL text is insufficient.

DFDSS dump looks similar to: ADR006I (001)-STEND(01), 2010.229 15:53:44 EXECUTION BEGINS *** TRACK(CCHH) 00000000 R0 DATA 0000000000000000 COUNT 0000000001040018 0000 C9D7D3F1 00080000 80000400 06000110 60000040 08000110 00000001 *IPL1............-........... * COUNT 0000000002040090 0000 C9D7D3F2 31000136 60000005 08000110 00000001 05000000 60001000 06000400 *IPL2....-...............-.......* 0020 20000C00 00000000 00000000 00000400 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 *................................* 0040 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 *................................* 0060 TO 007F SAME AS ABOVE 0080 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 *.................... * COUNT 0000000003040050 0000 E5D6D3F1 E5D6D3F1 D3C9C8E3 E2F14000 00000101 40404040 40404040 40404040 *VOL1VOL1LIHTS1..................* 0020 40404040 40404040 40C9C3F0 F1404040 40404040 40404040 40404040 40404040 *.........IC01...................* 0040 40404040 40404040 40404040 40404040 40404040 *.................... * COUNT 0000000004001000 0000 E3C8C9E2 40C9E240 C5D4D7E3 E840E6D6 D9D2C6C9 D3C540D9 C5C3D6D9 C440F0F0 *THIS.IS.EMPTY.WORKFILE.RECORD.00* 0020 F0F00000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 *00..............................* 0040 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 *................................* 0060 TO 0FFF SAME AS ABOVE COUNT 0000000005000C00 0000 47F00C80 C1D4C4E2 C1C9D7C4 F0F261F2 F361F9F8 40C8C2C2 F6F6F0F6 9110037C *.0..AMDSAIPD02/23/98.hbb6606...@* 0020 47800440 94EF037C BF2F0250 47800432 18C2BF2F 02544780 043C18D2 82000258 *.......@...&.....B.........Kb...* 0040 D2070260 09409500 037F4780 04601F55 50500264 D2000265 037FD200 0267037E *K..-..n.."...-..&&..K...."K....=* 0060 82000260 9180026C 47800470 82000268 82000008 900F0F30 982F0B18 B6660A4C *b..-j..%....b...b.......q......<* -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
