There was toleration support in SMP/E 3.4 for FIXCAT holddata, but it was to ignore it, not to process it. Note that GIM58903W does not show up in QuickRef until SMP/E 3.5. I don't recall the PTF# for toleration. It was in the 2008 timeframe.
You also may need to run the upgrade command in order use newer features of SMP/E like FIXCAT or the improved load module processing from several years ago. Increasing PEMAX can have unintended results. The default is 32767, but the highest value that can be specified via UCLIN is 9999.

In SMP/E V3R4, if your SOURCEID value meets either of the following conditions, a message is shown to indicate that your operand contains a value that cannot be processed by the current release of SMP/E: Your SOURCEID value is 9 to 64 characters in length. Your SOURCEID value contains a character other than uppercase alphabetic (A-Z), numeric (0-9), or national (@,#,$). Is the message mentioned GIM58903W? If not, which? (I can't find doc for SMP/E 3.4.) Was toleration for long SOURCEIDs introduced by APAR for earlier than SMP/E 3.5? Which APAR? Or does the above apply only when SMP/E 3.4 attempts to process a long SOURCEID in a CSI that needs upgrade? How far back, chronologically and in z/OS release, do support and/or toleration for long SOURCEIDs extend? (BTW, I was told here lately that there's no limit on number of SOURCEIDs for a SYSMOD. But apparently too many can cause operational difficulties: GIM25903E SMP/E COULD NOT ADD ++ASSIGN SOURCEID sourceid TO SYSMOD ENTRY sysmod BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF ELEMENTS IN THE ENTRY EXCEEDED THE CURRENT PEMAX VALUE. ... Programmer response: Do the following: Increase the PEMAX value in the OPTIONS entry being used. Run UCLIN against the global zone SYSMOD entry to add the SOURCEID value. I.e. apparently there's a workaround. Probably not a practical concern.)
