Note in the SMP/E Commands manual under the SELECT statement within the RECEIVE 
command states:

SELECT  specifies one or more SYSMOD IDs that should be received. .....
 
      Notes: 
   
4.  If you specify HOLDDATA and do not specify SYSMODs, only the HOLDDATA for 
the selected SYSMODs is received. The SYSMODs themselves are not received, nor 
are any associated ++FEATURE or ++PRODUCT MCS.


Not a bug, and documented to work this way.  I've used this exact syntax in the 
past to grab just a certain bit of HOLDDATA that I wanted to get into a global 
zone.

Subject: SMP/E RECEIVE SELECT( ... ) HOLDDATA ?

I recently tried something like

RECEIVE
SELECT( sysmod1 sysmod2 sysmod3 )
HOLDDATA
.

The SYSMODs in the SELECT list were quietly ignored.  I consider
this pretty much a bug: if SELECT is mutex with HOLDDATA, I ought
to be given a message.
