I wouldn't muck with that stuff. IBM has changed the algorithm in the past, and may do so again. What is it you are really trying to accomplish? Why is it useful to know the parent's jobname? One thing you could do is call BPX1GPP to get the parent's PID, and then use that to call BPX1GTH, which among other things can return the jobname for that process. These are supported things to do.
