We used the term in the 1960's in the UK. The Aussies probably pinched it

The summary of records report in the REXX is produced by program ERBMFSCN.
There is sample JCL on how to call that in ERBSMFSC.

That's exactly where IBM support went to when they reviewed one of the dumps I

That's a good question. The answer is that SDUMP uses the timestamp
from the incident token. Per the SDUMP(X) documentation:
,INTOKEN=token addr
Specifies the address of a 32-byte area that contains an incident
token previously built by an IEAINTKN macro. If register notation
is used,
Does SDUMP use the current time or the reader start time for the address space?

Mark,
Is it possible that they could be running some tool like HourGlass fooling
around with date/time?
FCP connected SCSI drives is done via san zoning. Considering that IOSFBA is a
function within z/OS. I don't know how that connectivity works.
