If so, shouldn't any PTF with hold class SECINT also have an ERROR hold with the relevant APAR number? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

In theory, yes. In practice, I'm not sure. But I think your question reinforces the benefit of registering for the IBM Z Security Portal and regularly obtaining the HOLDDDATA.
