I’m running ADCD z/OS on zD&T, and wanted to see what was in my HCD (Hardware Configuration Definition). There are some ISPF panels, which allow you to print things, but they had some “required” parameters which I didn’t have and didn’t need.
This post shows the JCL I used, and gives a quick overview of the output
The JCL to create a batch report. This uses program CBDMGHCP. This parameters are described here. Note you can have the output created in XML format.
//IBMHCD JOB MSGCLASS=H
//GCREP EXEC PGM=CBDMGHCP,
// PARM='REPORT,CSMEN,,,,,00'
//HCDIODFS DD DSN=SYS1.IODF99,DISP=SHR
//HCDRPT DD SYSOUT=,
// DCB=(RECFM=FBA,LRECL=200,BLKSIZE=6400)
//HCDMLOG DD SYSOUT=,
// DCB=(RECFM=FBA,LRECL=200,BLKSIZE=6400)
The output data sets require the DCB information. If this is not provided you get messages like
IEC141I 013-34,IGG0199G,IBMHCD,GCREP,HCDRPT.
The output of the report in HCDRPT

Component reports heading
Following the list of sections are the data. Each section has a header like
CONTROL UNIT SUMMARY REPORT TIME:... DATE:... PAGE G- 1
Where the title (CONTROL UNIT SUMMARY REPORT) and the character following the PAGE match the list of sections, which has “CONTROL UNIT SUMMARY REPORT G”.
To go to a section use Find ‘PAGE G’ .
