I would also suggest to use the shared SPOOL, but maybe a "ROUTE *ALL,D A,jobname " would do this. With EXEC CICS SPOOLOPEN, EXEC CICS SPOOLWRITE you can submit a job and you can get back the result via
EXEC  CICS SPOOLREAD.
Another option would be via RMF II API interface, (ERB2XDGS) query for the SMF 79 subtype 2 records.

We currently have an assembler routine which is called from CICS to check
whether a particular job is running in the same z/OS system as the CICS
system. This routine was written back in the dark ages and accomplishes
this by chasing the ASCB chain and comparing the jobname of each address
space. We now have the need to check to see if the job in question is
running in any z/OS instance of a SYSPLEX. Any suggestions as to what is
the best way to accomplish this.

TIA
