Do you mean LIST HOLDERROR? or perhaps REPORT ERRSYSMODS?
Either way, it will not. Doc and Action holds are System holds, not Error 
Holds. 
You could use LIST HOLDSYSTEM.

Relying on ERROR holds to know about SYSTEM holds would be a foolish 
thing to do.
Especially if you mean an ERRSYSMODS Report. That only reports on 
unresolved error holds.

Sure, the PTF with an incorrect SYSTEM hold could have an ERROR hold
 and a resolving PTF with an updated SYSTEM hold. That could be an 
appropriate thing to do.
