exit or option to suppress SVC dump if CIC transaction dump was taken

One of the product teams at DST would like to suppress SVC dumps within CICS unless it is detected that a transaction dump has not been taken. Currently transaction dumps may be suppressed by FAULT ANAYLZER which we use within our cics regions when a duplicate dump is detected. This product team would like the SVC dump even though the transaction dump was suppressed.

    The suppression or taking of a SDUMP by CICS occurs before Fault Analyzer is invoked and as such we have no direct control over the SDUMP. The following example is from the CFA transaction 0C1 IVP where you can see the SDUMP has been suppressed by the DUMP=NO SIT option prior to FA being invoked (IDI0001,2,3)

    +DFHAP0001 C68E1FA1 An abend (code 0C1/AKEA) has occurred at offset X'00013FBE' in module IDIXFA.
    +DFHME0116 C68E1FA1 922
    (Module:DFHMEME) CICS symptom string for message DFHAP0001 is
    PIDS/5655Y0400 LVLS/680 MS/DFHAP0001 RIDS/DFHSRP PTFS/GM01 AB/S00C1
    AB/UAKEA RIDS/IDIXFA ADRS/00013FBE
    +DFHDU0205 C68E1FA1 A SYSTEM DUMP FOR DUMPCODE: AP0001 , WAS SUPPRESSED BY THE GLOBAL SYSTEM DUMP SUPPRESSION OPTION
    +IDI0001I Fault Analyzer V13R1M0 (MVS 2015/01/13) invoked by IDIXCM68/XPCABND using SYS1.PARMLIB.FAE1.USER(IDICNF00)
    +IDI0002I Module IDIXFA, CSECT IDIXFA, offset X'DFC': CICS abend ASRA
    +IDI0003I Fault ID F79614 assigned in history file SIMCOCK.HISTORY

    Can the desired functionality be achieved by the use of SYSTEM and TRANSACTION dump table entries ? If I have misunderstood the requirement please return this RFE to me with additional details.
