Job start (CPF1124) & end (CPF1164) times are logged in the history log.
Do a DSPLOG LOG(QHST) MSGID(CPF1124 CPF1164) to see the results. You can
dump this to a report for further analysis. You'll need to differentiate
between signon jobs and batch jobs by checking the job name (linking it
to device descriptions maybe?).

I've got a utility at work that displays concurrent jobs[1] for a
specified time & date. It was written to help pinpoint problems with file
locks etc by seeing what else was running at exactly that time. The
scheduled extract program combines each job's start & end times (from a
DSPLOG spoolfile) into a single record which can be queried by the
display routine. The display can subset on user and/or job name. I could
upload the code to my site if you think it might make a reasonable
starting point.
