Now back with access to JES3-L, I found an old entry by Ed Jaffe that might explain why
you have seen "S0xxxxxx and J0xxxxxx" job IDs in that presentation. I hope Ed
does not mind if I quote him from there:

In JES3, you can't rely on the job ID to tell you the job type. All job
IDs always appear as JOBxxxxx (or Jxxxxxxx in z/OS V1R2), whether a job,
started task, or TSO user. (E)JES provides a feature to "merge" the job
type and job ID into a single displayable job ID column.
Sorry. I got a few days behind on my IBM-MAIN reading...
Klaus is quite correct (thank you for acting as my proxy, Sir). :)
The jobid embedded within MVS and JES control blocks will always contain
JOBnnnnn or Jnnnnnnn in JES3.
Another difference between JES2 and JES3 affecting this discussion is
the way the first three characters of the jobid are formatted. JES2 will
format 'J00' for *all* job numbers if the maximum-allowable job number
is configured above 64K. In JES3, the first three characters will
contain the value 'JOB' if the job number is small enough to fit, no
matter how high the maximum-allowable job number is configured.
