Loyd,

Am I too late for this one?  Was it already answered?  Here's my solution 
anyway;

You can retrieve the controlling subsystem name from the system value QCTLSBSD.
You can call program QMNSBS to retrieve which subsystem you are running in.
Then compare the two.

You can tell if the system is in restricted state by monitoring for CPF3785 on
the SAVSYS, SAVLIB *NONSYS or whatever command you are using that requires
restricted state and keep looping until okay.

Here's a cut from my nightly backup program.

dcl &cnt &dec 3,0
dcl &cnta *char 3
dcl &sbs *char 10
dcl &ctlsbsd *char 20

rtvsysval qctlsbsd &ctlsbsd /* retrieve controlling subsystem name */
call qmnsbs parm(&sbs  '  '    '  ') /* retrieve subsystem name job is active */

if cond(&sbs *ne %sst(&ctlsbsd 1 10)) then(do)
sndpgmmsg msgid(cpf9897) msgf(qcpfmsg) msgdta('Job is not in controlling
subsystem' *bcat %sst(&ctlsbsd 1 10) *tcat '.') msgtype(*escape)
enddo

endsbs *all *immed

wait:
chgvar &cnt &cnt+1
chgvar &cnta &cnt
sndpgmmsg msgid(cpf9897) msgf(qcpfmsg) msgdta('Waiting 30 seconds for all
subsystems to end.  Attempt number' *bcat &cnta *cat '.') topgmq(*ext)
msgtype(*status)

savsys dev(&dev) expdate(&expdate) endopt(*leave)
monmsg msgid(cpf3785) exec(goto wait) /* not all subsystems ended. */
.....
