Bob,

The job will run under a certified user so you can do a WRKUSRJOB of that user 
to
an outfile and test the contents of the records on that, perhaps with OPNQRYF
using %max-BIF.

There is also an API - LIST ACTIVE JOBS (or something like that) that put 
similar
information in a user space.

Hope this will help.
