While SVC Dump and SYSMDUMP do share some common code, there are significant differences in processing, and we in development do not consider them to be the same. We use the term SVC Dump to refer to a dump initiated via the SDUMP(X) macro (including those initiated via the SLIP or DUMP commands). IEATDUMP and SYSMDUMP have much more in common - you could think of IEATDUMP as an API into SYSMDUMP processing. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
