The output_cpd2 variable in the CONFIGURATION archive contains the configuration used to generate CPD2 output records.

The configuration is broken down by output CPD2 record type. When a specific record is requested, that configuration is looked up and used to produce the output. Each record definition consists of a set of CPD2 output variables/columns and the input CPD3 data selection.
