Lizette, Anciently these names were all generated using the skeleton:
SYSyyddd.Thhmmss.RA000.jobname.dsname.Hnn in which jobname and dsname could, often did, have their own internal structures. In your example 'DB11DBM1' is clearly part-number-like, but it is also a licit z/OS jobname. For temporary datasets the date and time values are allocation-time ones.
