FWIW, this old change does document the actual existence of JCTJOBID='A':
Change 08.224 Support for MVS/ESA 4.2 (RMF 4.2.1).
Jan 28, 1991
d. The JCTJOBID field from which TYPETASK and JESNR are
extracted has changed with APPC. Instead of three
characters JOB/STC/TSU follwed by the five digit JESNR
the JCTJOBID will contain an "A" and a seven digit
number, which MXG stores in TYPETASK and JESNR, but
the maximum JESNR is 999,999 because the first of the
seven digits is always a zero. You should check if
any reporting programs use TYPETASK for selection, and
to ensure they are coded robustly so they will not
fail if TYPETASK='A' is encountered. The JCTJOBID
change was not compatibly implemented and changed
VMAC6,VMAC30,VMAC32,VMAC26J2, and VMAC26J3. SMF
records use the fieldname SMFnnJNM for the eight byte
JCTJOBID field. This IBM change in that field could
also affect "banner page" printing code in your SMF
exits.

Set PREFIX=* , DEST= (null) and OWNER=* in SDSF.
Issue "H ALL" and sort on JOBID and look for Annnnnnn Issue "O" and sort on
JOBID and look for Annnnnnn
This assumes you don't have any SDSF parms or SDSF SAF security rules
preventing you from seeing the output.
