... it's quite a manual process:

1. List all action, etc. HOLDDATA for each global CSI.
2. Manipulate output to identify just the PTFs/APARs with HOLDDATA.
3. Identify the new HOLDDATA by sorting, diffing the PTF lists to remove
the common PTFs/APARs in both lists.
4. List the HOLDDATA for just the "new" PTFs/APARs that are being
installed onto the system.

Is there a better way to do this?

Not sure if this helps, but I believe the CPAC.DOCLIB data set supplied by ServerPac contains lists of the HOLDs for the PTFs integrated into the ServerPac. I believe the member names correspond to the HOLD REASON-IDs, like ACTION, EC, DB2BIND, etc.
