We've done something similar for a CLP by inserting SNDMSG commands throughout
the CLP to a message queue that we created.  We than had another job monitor 
that
message queue.  We do a RCVMSG with an a appropriate wait time.  If we timed 
out,
we knew we had a problem.  You could erase the messages in the monitoring CLP to
save room.  We only cleared the messages overnight.

Our job was watching a CLP that received records from a dialup SNADS connection.
Some messages were:

No files received at 05:05:00
No files received at 05:25:00
4 files received RCVNETF at 05:45:00
Processed LZBL01 file for 52 records
Processed LZBL02 file for 1 records
Processed LBZL03 file for 5 records
....etc.

Any operator can use DSPMSG for that specific message queue to keep an eye on 
the
job.

Since the job runs at least every 20 minutes, our monitoring job waits 30 
minutes
on the RCVMSG.  If it doesn't hear anything in 30 minutes, it sends a message to
the operator.
