I'm supposing that when you say HCD you mean IODF. Further, when you mention REXX code, I'm guessing you are referring to Mark Zelden's IPLINFO REXX.
This interrogates a couple of control blocks that I can't see documented, not in the Data Areas manuals, nor in MACLIB/MODGEN (IOVT and CDA ). I'd try to verify your assertion that these control blocks aren't updated by an ACTIVATE, but my company is in the throes of a mainframe upgrade and the sandbox sysplex is currently unavailable. If your REXX runs under a userid with the authority to issue system commands, I'm wondering if you can trap the output from a 'D IOS,CONFIG' command and analyse the results from that. Mr. Zelden may have more to say..

My issue is I can get the IPL Load Parms when the system is ipl'ed by using rexx code I have gotten off of websites. What I can't detect is when the HCD changes between IPLS because it seems the CVT area I'm checking doesn’t get updated.
