Well - I've been reading SYSUDUMPs for a long time, but I've never
found a pretty precise description of the various pieces of the dump.

The newer z/OS doc seems to just want to point you to IPCS, but I rather
like just reading the dump.

My particular question is the

  LINES XXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYY  SAME AS ABOVE

in a memory dump.  Does that mean the the single line (of 32-bytes) just
before this line is copied as many times to fill in the space between XXXXXXXX
and YYYYYYYY, or does it mean that all of the previously described memory
(for as many bytes as needed) is copied? (I think it has to mean that the single line above is copied (YYYYYYYY-XXXXXXXX)/32 times... but - I'm just checking.)

Seems like I recall, at some point, a pretty precise document on the format
of a SYSUDUMP - but I can't seem to find it now... if anyone remembers what
that might be a pointer to that would be welcome.

 - Many thanks! -
