Hey Brian,

Yep, in fact that's exactly what I did to ensure the PTFs in question do
not "accidentally" go on my system (we're very current on maintenance)...

//RECEIVE EXEC SMPE
//SMPCNTL DD *
SET BDY(GLOBAL) .
RECEIVE HOLDDATA LIST .
//SMPHOLD DD *
++ HOLD(UA22438) FMID(HDZ11K0) REASON(DEP) USER DATE(05363)
COMMENT(REQUIRES HDS MICROCODE INSTALL) .
++ HOLD(UA22555) FMID(HDZ11K0) REASON(DEP) USER DATE(05363)
COMMENT(REQUIRES HDS MICROCODE INSTALL) .

The problem is not with SMP/E. I've been told that the internal IBM
systems that generate enhanced HOLDDATA are not capable of generating
ACTION, DEP, etc holds.
