Those IBM supplied SLIP traps are generally there to suppress irrelevant SVC 
dumps:

SL SET,C=13E,ID=X13E,A=NODUMP,END

Imagine what would happen if you got a dump for each S13E in addition to the 
LOGREC record? The truth is that some abends relating to 'improper' termination 
cleanup are just part of MVS noise. They seldom mean anything at all, but they 
are after all abends, so they are acknowledged and recorded. But unless you (or 
a vendor) needs to pursue the cause, nothing else needs to be done. 

There are also NODUMP or NOSVCD SLIP traps for S013, Sx37, and other common 
'user error' abends. If you need a dump for such an error, you can override the 
SLIP trap, but in most cases, the cause--and the solution--are obvious.

Subject: (External):EREP Symptom and/or Software Records

Greetings.
Our former sysprog, who paid attention to the more finer system details, has 
left the building for greener pastures.  So now we seem to have to step up our 
game.  However, I'm not sure what to do or how.

We are running several EREP reports to see what software or symptom records are 
being cut per LPAR (mostly just HISTORY reports for now).  We are finding that 
a lot of records are being cut at the time an IBM supplied SLIP trap is taken 
(for example X13E, X47B, X91A).  Some of these records can exceed hundreds on a 
given day.

What should we/I be doing? Reporting them to IBM? I just don't understand why 
IBM would set the SLIP yet cut a symptom or software record too.  We can't be 
the only shop seeing these. Yet I've tried to research a few on IBMLINK but 
can't find any hits for known problems.  Or maybe there is a way to turn of the 
creation of the software/symptom record?  Though I can't wrap my head around 
that either, thinking why are they then being cut at all if it's not anything 
to look into?

Any schooling you can give, would be most appreciated! But please, be gentle. 
I'm out of my element. Many thanks to you all.
