Thats a slightly older version. IBM manuals started out with numbers
like "ANN-MMM-VV". I think the letter defines the manual type, most of
the ones I have are "C" which I think are general user manuals, "Y" is
an internals manual, "A" seems to be hardware , "NN" defines the
product, so VM are 20, OS/360 are 28, S/360. The next four identify the
manual and the last one is the version. Some time after S/360 came out
they added an extra letter on the front, so "G" manuals are general
distributed, "S" manuals were only available to licensed users and there
are more for "Internal Use Only" manuals.
So the one on E-Bay was "H20-0205-3" , which is issue "3" of the SSP
manual. The one I have is "GH20-0205-4" so its later as its Version 4
and its got the "G" for a general release manual...
but I bet you al knew that...

If the SSP one is GH20-0205-4 then I have a PDF
copy, but if its not I would
like the chance to scan it and will then gladly post it on to whoever for no
cost...
As much as I know was in the listing.
As per the listing, the full title is:
IBM/360 Scientific Subroutine Package (360A-CM-03X) Version III,
Scientific Application Program H20-0205-3, IBM Technical Publications
Department, White Plains, NY, 1968.
