Well, that's an interesting suggestion. To use REDO you must specifically identify the PTFs you want to apply in the SELECT operand. I haven't tried this, but I'm thinking APPLY REDO might not show you all the same HOLDs because they will already be resolved. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=ac-exception-sysmods-hold Since the APPLY CHECK REDO and LIST solutions both require identifying all the PTFs, my personal preference is for LIST to guarantee listing all of the HOLDs.
