REWORK can be any string you choose up to eight characters. I use REWORK on all of my usermods. I use the sysmod update date in Julian format, e.g. 2015157, which I like because that shows up in an SMPE display of the sysmod. This date format (seven characters) allows you to add an eighth character in the unlikely event (!) that the first APPLY does not work and you have to fix the mod and reRECEIVE it. A sysmod can be RECEIVEd over and over as long as the new REWORK value is higher than the old.
A personal corollary of my rule is that if I have used up all suffixes 0 - 9 and still can't get it right, it's time to go home and try again the next day. ;-) . . .
