Unfortunately, this isn't true.  The hold that is filled by a copy is
not necessarily the hold that targeted the copy, because the holds are
filled (nominally, with proximity adjustment) in request order.  In
other words, the pull list is just for getting copies from the shelf
to the hold capture (or checkin) interface.  The hold slip that is
printed at actual capture time is an authoritative record of which
hold a copy is filling.
