In z/OS 1.13, SDUMP specifies the DSNTYPE=LARGE text unit when dynamically allocating a dump data set, if the dump data set size is larger than 64k tracks. Prior to z/OS 1.13, for dump data sets larger then 64k tracks, you would need to use your SMS ACS routines to change the DSNTYPE to EXTENDED (or maybe you can also change it to LARGE).
