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..



1. HCD vs IODF. Actually both names are not 100% accurate. There is no *simple* and accurate name, it is I/O configuration. HCD is an application to create such configuration, IODF is dataset which contains the configuration, but there is also IOCDS, and active configuration in MVS (let's focus on this OS) and HSA.

2. D IOS,CONFIG shows current configuration (IODF name) for both HSA and MVS, but it doesn't show whether the config was activated after IPL. Even case where IODF HSA <> IODF MVS does not mean there was an activate, because system could be IPLed with non-matching IODF (which in turn disallow dynamic changes).

3. AFAIK Mark's IPLINFO (great tool BTW, thank you Mark!) does not show whether dynamic change took place.



BTW: What's the goal? IMHO there are some other methods to get such information. Not to mention dynamic activate should be strictly controlled and performed only by persons who really know what they do.
