Or you can also add ZONEGROUP(ALLZONES) to your RECEIVE command. However, both make the receive process longer since it has to look at each sysmod and determine if it should really be received or not. Pay me now, or pay me later with mass reject. This is were SMP/E 3.4 and above RECEIVE ORDER (or the prior report method) comes in handy since it only orders what you don't have to begin with.
