This applies to component IDs, and function sysmods (FMIDs) are expected to take the form tcccrrr, where t values of A-J are IBM's and everything else is user/vendor land, and ccc is the component ID and rrr the version/release. But I don't think these have ever applied to fix names like OA12345. IBM seems to have abandoned the Standard Packaging Rules for z/OS-Based Products book, in favour of a tiny section on naming in the SMP/E Reference.
