HBBxxxx FMIDs are full ship releases - they contain all of the parts.
JBBxxxx FMIDs are partial - they contain only changed parts. So to
install a JBBxxxx, you must also install all of the preceeding releases
back to the previous HBBxxxx. MVS/370 and MVS/XA each had one HBBxxxx
followed by a string of JBBxxxx. Some customers did not like having
to install multiple releases when doing an upgrade, so as of MVS/ESA
we went to shipping mostly HBBxxxx releases. For a part which is
not changed in a release, our build process goes back and finds the
last time it was compiled, and drags that version (which for a module,
is just the OBJ without recompiling it) into the current release.
So from an SMP/E point of view, the level of ASASYMBM in HBB7740
is HBB7740 (z/OS 1.9). However, the last time it was compiled/assembled
was HBB7720 (z/OS 1.7). And looking at the OCO source, the last time
the source was changed was HBB7705 (z/OS 1.2).
Which just goes to show that even a seemingly simple question
like "when was the last time xxxxxxxxx was changed" has an answer that
depends on the context of "changed".
