Yikes!

Our programmers occasionally ZAP a load module in a test load library, which is
fine. When the time comes to promote the load module into a production load
library, however, I would like our change management package to prevent the
promotion of any load module which has been zapped. I'm prepared to do that
check programmatically via an exit, if I have a reasonable way of doing it.

Extract a secure checksum (e.g. SHA-1 from ICSF) when the load
module is generated, and verify it when it is moved into the
production load library.  RACF protect the following:  [...]

I like RACF, but in this case it is better to use some "changeman" package (Changeman ZMF, Endevour, etc.). In such scenario programmer provides a *source* and team leader (whoever responsible for the code) recompiles the code when promoting to upper environments. The roles and datasets can be RACF-protected, however it is up to the changeman to separater the duties and manage versions.
IMHO any other method is reinventing the wheel.
