Have you tried the Active_Job_Info IBM Service:
The following SQL Statement will return all active jobs in all sub-systems
with the specified Job name:
Select *
from Table(QSYS2.Active_Job_Info(Job_Name_Filter => 'YOURJOB'));
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Subject: Is there a quick and easy way to check whether a job of a given
name is active? Or whether a particular program is in use?
I've got a periodic update job. It's set to start up in the morning from a
job schedule entry, then run every 5 minutes (by self-perpetuating up to a
specified hour) for a good chunk of the day.
Most of the time, it's waiting for its scheduled launch time (most
iterations run to completion in under a minute).
And I've got a program that could potentially get in a fight with the
periodic update. Is there a quick and easy way for, say, a CL program to
determine whether it's actually running?
