The "bad HOLDDATA for Everyone" portion of this problem is now resolved. Today, the HOLDDATA file contains the following (now syntactically-valid MCS):
++HOLD(HBB7730) FMID(HBB7730) REASON(AA19281) ERROR DATE(06363) COMMENT(SMRTDATA(SYMP(IPL,FUL,PRF,PRV,SYSPLXDS) CHGDT(061229))) CLASS(HIPER). Also, I noticed that OA19281 (a z/OS 1.8-only APAR) has a new flag added to the dire list of symptom flags: "PERFORMANCE".
