I understand that; it is precisely the reason that I don't see the
need to share those data.

If I take over an RSU process that somebody else started, then I will
almost certainly download and RECEIVE new HOLDDATA. At that point I
wiould want to redo the APPLY CHECK. If they did a RECEIVE of selected
corrected service, that service will still be in the PTS so I don't
need to go through that iteration even if I don't use their SMPTABL.
