Kurt, Your response brings up a related question. I understand the SECINT HOLDDATA is only available from the security portal. Are PTFs that get a SECINT hold on them also flagged in the normal holddata with some other hold reason? Asking another way, am I missing PTFs that have holddata on them if I don't get the SECINT holddata from the portal?

No, the old not-enhanced HOLDDATA no longer exists (for many years). I do not use the descriptor "enhanced" because IBM only provides the one flavor of general use HOLDDATA. Everybody, including vendors, have access to IBM's general use HOLDDATA. You can get the file here https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://public.dhe.ibm.com/eserver/zseries/holddata/full.txt__;!!KjMRP1Ixj6eLE0Fj!pBdnXZ6I9JuqGglNFX8erL2uzWFHOOpQ31Qeg5lB-GgoxsEeZHY0mSYI5TALPLRXRxaTrjiIZ8_fjEAP$ or with FTP as previously posted, or with Shopz or with SMP/E RECEIVE ORDER. This HOLDDATA identifies PE, HIPER, and Fix Category fixes. The HOLDDATA from the IBM Security Portal which identifies SECINT fixes is separate.
