From an HSM point of view there is no way to get the names.
Only a way to get the name of the first BCDS resp. MCDS. But
not the other names in case of multicds.

Accessing SDSF seems to be a possibility (I tried a REXX which got the
names). However, in this case all users need read authorization of the
HSM's joblog which is a no go.

The program is used in an ISPF application on systems where I don't
know how they are configured. I just wanted to save a configuration
where the names of BCDS and MCDS are specified.
