Anyone know the structure of the DS_JOBOBJECTS HASH file?

It's not published but you can do a LIST.DICT on it to see the metadata.

You only get the common fields, the first five fields, from a dictionary listing. After that, the record structure is different for each different OLETYPE. (That this can be done was one of the reasons they decided to use hashed files originally for the Repository.)

Some of the structure is documented for programmatic use in the header files in the dsinclude directory. But not all of it. Some of the record types have as many as 116 fields.

Ah, yes... forgot about that.
