Format CICS Monitoring Data

In CICS region dumps the data from the monitoring domain is easily locatable with Fault Analyzer via "Monitoring Transaction Summary" and there address of TMA. But currently FA only displays DFHMNTDS unformated as normal storage display.
FA should pretty format this data, especially the binary counters and the STCK and 12-bytes time stamp values.
Using DSECT command helps a little but is unsatisfactory because of the poor formating capabilities of DSECT.
Also the montitoring data should always be included in CICS transaction dumps.
