I tried using GDDM and got it working but the display wasn't as easy to use as 
the HTML charts. Especially since it limited me to a 80 column display (mod 
2/3/4) and wouldn't work on a mod 5 or custom (larger) display.

The HTML reports from B2H look very adequate and are more usable (imho).

But it was good to know that GDDM is available should a need arise for it.

Everybody with a base z/OS license has GDDM. GDDM-PGF and GDDM-REXX are 
optional licensed z/OS features, but to my knowledge HCD requires neither.
