I knew HWNAME was not surfaced as a symbol, but some time ago we discovered a spooky symbol called &HRDWNAME, which contained the value of &HWNAME. We did not set it and could not find IBM did and after some searches through the internet we discovered that CA-90 software had started setting this at some upgrade, along with some others:
VMUSER : The VM user id . LPARNAME : the LPAR name HRDWNAME : The hardware name from the IODF. SMFID : = SMFNAME OSLEVEL : The 6 character operating system level.

You would have to create such a symbol yourself, such as by using the approach that Richard Peurifoy showed of having a SYSDEF statement for each HWNAME and setting the symbol that way. To the best of my knowledge, there has never been a customer requirement (including Share requirement) submitted asking for this. So if this is something that you want (at least going forward, it won't help you for current releases), you need to ask for it formally. And the more voices that are represented by the request, the more likely it is that it will happen. I would imagine that if HWNAME were surfaced as a symbol, so would be the other filtering value of LPARNAME (and quite possibly VMUSERID to complete the set).
