The IBM "joblog", the pair of values in the Reader Date/Time
and the JOB name have NEVER been adequate to define all records
for a job, precisely because of the actual occurrence for many
years of two jobs going thru the reader in the same unit of time, 
and because IBM will never change the resolution of the SMFSTAMP fields.

It has ALWAYS been required to add JESNR to identify uniquely
all records (30, 6, and 26) for a specific job.

Unfortunately, not all SMF job-related record also contain
JESNR (14/15,42,64, etc. don't) but those are execution
time-frame records, which can be associated with the correct
JESNR by comparing their SMFTIME with the INIT/TERM in the
30 records.
