Good advise.   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.
