I guess you could do that, assign the initiator TCB to the ENQ, but what happens if the job abends before the step you do the DEQ in?
I think this will work - If the purpose is to prevent two similar processes, then why not use a common data set and allocate it as DISP=(OLD,PASS). That way the ENQ on the data set will last for the duration of the job, and if it dies early the ENQ automatically goes away.

Would specifying the TCB address of the initiator TCB on the TCB parameter work? Any better ideas?
