Actually, this might result in a considerable optimization
because the conditions in:
#<<<14.4.3 "SMP/E V3R5.0 for z/OS V1R10.0 Commands"

14.4.3 Restarting RECEIVE FROMNETWORK
... You can simply rerun the
RECEIVE FROMNETWORK command, and SMP/E will determine which files have
already been transferred successfully, and which files need to be
transferred again or have not yet been transferred. Before transferring
a file, RECEIVE processing checks to see if the file already exists in
the package directory of the SMPNTS. If it does, the hash value for the
existing file is calculated and compared to the hash value supplied in
the package attribute file. If they match, the file is used as it exists
in the package directory and is not transferred again. ...
So some files might not need to be re-transferred. I don't know
whether the hash value is reproducible if the same SYSMOD appears
in different ORDERs sharing the SMPNTS. KurtQ might enlighten us.
