I disagree completely. The expected reader of "programmer response" is an 
application programmer. 
The expected reader of "system programmer response" is the system 
programmer.

The system programmer response is already to contact IBM service. And it's 
rare when the right data to report does not include the console log and 
any dumps, so that does not need to be called out specifically on every 
abend
