(Just picked off the last note in the thread.) I hate to leave this intriguing 
discussion without a stab at lessons learned. Given that the problem was 
finally solved and remediated through a PE APAR, there are a couple of actions 
that might have led to faster resolution. 

1. Rigorously pull the latest and greatest HOLDDATA early and often. We just 
installed a V2R1 maintenance bundle that would otherwise have included the same 
PE PTF except that it was blocked by an ERROR hold. OP redid his entire 
maintenance cycle. I would have expected that effort to have succeeded if the 
latest HOLDDATA had been swished into the mix.

2. Even after the fact, there can be great value in an error sysmod report:
        SET BDY(GLOBAL  ) .                   
        REPORT ERRSYSMODS ZONES(MVST100) .
   Again, with the latest HOLDDATA tow, this report might have uncovered the 
bad boy with less agony than OP experienced. 
 
On the other hand, we Listers would have missed out on a great adventure. ;-)

I was about to point that out. Thanks for doing it for me. :-)
