Information relevant to data tables is included in a CICS® system dump to help you determine the cause of a problem. For information on the contents of dumps and how to obtain them, see CICS Problem Determination Guide.

The data table contents are not included in the CICS system dump because the data space in which the data table resides is not part of the CICS address space. If you want to see the contents of the data table, ask the system operator to use the MVS™ DUMP command to request a dump of the data space DFHDT001 owned by the appropriate CICS startup job.
The operator command DISPLAY J,CICS-startup-jobname shows information about a CICS job, including the DSPNAMEs of data spaces that it owns. To dump the contents of the data space, you can use the MVS DUMP command as follows:
DUMP COMM=(title for your dump)
* id IEE094D SPECIFY OPERAND(S) FOR DUMP COMMAND
REPLY id, DSPNAME='jobname'.DFHDT001
and
the data space is dumped.
