I don't know of a way to do it "system wide", but you can get all GDG bases from a specific catalog via:
//IDCAMS EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
LISTC GDG CAT(catalog.name)
/*
//
You need one such LISTC for each catalog. If you leave off the CAT(catalog.name) the LISTC looks only in the master catalog.

The CSI (Catalog Search Interface) can be used. See IGGCSIRX sample
in SYS1.SAMPLIB or CATSRCH on my web site.
Run it with a key of '**' if you want to look at all data sets in
all catalogs. You can modify the code to throw out anything that
isn't a GDG base record (type "B").

extract all gds/gdgs. I think it is documented in DFSMS Managing
Catalogs.

Are you licensed for Innovation Data Processing's ABR or FDREPORT products? If so
there's a very simple FDREPORT job that will get the information you need using
the following control cards:
**********
*
* Job extracts GDG base information from the system catalogs.
* Currently it takes about 74 seconds to extract the data
* from 295,040 GDG base records residing in a catalog structure
* containing 1.663 million entries.
*
**********
SUMMARY FIELD=DSN /* summarize entries processed */
REPORT FIELD=(GDGBASE, /* gdg base name */
GDGENTRY, /* active entry count */
GDGLIMIT, /* active entry limit */
GDGFLAGS, /* processing flags */
GDGLADAT) /* last altered date */
PRINT DATATYPE=CATALOG, /* process system catalogs */
ENABLE=GDGBASEONLY /* select only GDG base names */
