That's the hard way. It is much easier to receive current hold data and run
REPORT ERRORSYSMODS against the target zone.
It has been a while since I was responsible for day to day SMP work.
If as you say, REPORT ERRORSYSMODS will indicate that an APPLY'ed
SYSMOD is now PE that that would look like a more efficient method
than my ACCEPT CHECK one. The important thing is to find (and
correct) the ticking timebomb that an APPLY'ed but now PE SYSMOD
represents.
No matter what method is used, the locating of PE'ed SYSMODs which
were already APPLY'ed is IMO a good preventive practice. Hopefully
this will not be something that occurs often and the longer you wait
between the release of the SYSMODs and when you APPLY them, the more
time there will be for the PE indication to occur before you do the
APPLY.
