will changing the REWORK and re-RECEIVEing cause the SYSMOD to be
selected on APPLY, absent REDO?  Even if all the objects appear current
in the target zone?  Based on what entries in the target CSI?

Also (topic drift) The SMP/E manuals say that if the SYSMOD is absent
from the SMPPTS, RECEIVE will re-RECEIVE it even if the REWORK is
unchanged.  But be careful: In our development we may make radical
changes in the structure of a PTF (we never send two such versions
to field).  I have observed that merely deleting from the SMPPTS and
re-RECEIVEing leaves tramp entries in the GLOBAL zone.  I don't know
whether changing REWORK causes such entries to be cleaned up.  I
rely on REJECT.
