Viewing SMP/E hold data prior to applying a PTF

Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to review the SMP/E hold data before applying a PTF? 

Environment

Component: ASTEX

Resolution

System hold data (ACTION, DOC, or DEP holds) will appear on your receive listing. You can also view the hold data with the LIST HOLDDATA command. Error hold data for PE PTFs is stored in a separate hold data file. 

Although you can visually inspect this file, it is more important to receive the hold data into your global zone so that SMP/E can screen out PE PTFs during APPLY and ACCEPT processing.
