Ok.  I'm blind.  Or maybe I mistyped my search arg.  
I now see it in multiple syntax diagrams.
And in the z/OS Diagnosis Guide it says the SLIP ACTION can specify
SVCD or SYNCSVCD.  That's nice.  It agrees with the Commands
manual.  But I'm still a bit short on descriptions and explanations.

Just from the concept of "synchronous" I assume something is 
suspended in SYNCSVCD processing.  And I assume that something
is not as extensive as with QUIESCE=YES.   My gut feeling is "all
processing in the dumped address space" is suspended (which 
could be good for diagnosis but bad for processing) but that's a
guess.
