Jump command is so an ingrained part of ISPF... (Perhaps disabling RACF is
easier... :-D )

Look at these extracts from 'ISPF User's Guide Volume I' to see if it can help
you:
"The command field is the only field that can be initialized to =n by the
dialog and have the jump function recognize it. Modifying the ZCMD field in the
)PROC or )INIT section can affect jump function operation."
"Otherwise, the dialog developer can cancel the jump request/return mode by
providing two consecutive displays with the same panel name."

Can you grab any command (inside your program or via emulator keystroke
scanner) before ISPF grabs it and just simple drop/ignore any command
containing '=' and simply passing a blank and <ENTER>?
I'm sure there is an exit available for pre-processing commands, but I can't
find it. Perhaps ISPF-L members can help you out there?
Binyamin Dissen's suggestion is a very interesting one. I'm sure he got on
something useful...
Just my two worthless cents before tax...
