I wrote one; it involves reading the job message queue and looking for one
of the 2 messages that indicate 'job submitted.'  There are 2 messages:
one for the original queue, the 2nd indicates the queue a job was
transferred to (I was looking for batch jobs).

In our case, we were looking for the queue the job was on just before it
started to execute.  That meant we had to read the messages in reverse
order to pick up the 'transferred to' queue before the 'submitted to' queue.

Isn't that just like IBM, though... write a nifty routine, and IBM turns
around and gives you an API for the same info.
