Yes, that's the standard way of doing it in Zeke - you define the schedule time 
and/or the conditions that must be satisfied and also the member name and 
library that is the source of the job.  However, Zeke also allows for 
dynamically created schedule queue records (SQRs), whereby Zeke "captures" the 
JCL being submitted and manages it.   Also, given the proper authorities, you 
can modify an SQR to read a different PDS member, run the job, then delete the 
SQR, leaving no clue behind.  

Admittedly, the last two scenarios are rare, and perhaps not noteworthy for 
this discussion.

Subject: Re: Determine the PDS a job was submitted from?

Did ZEKE actually submit the job or did it submit a "launcher" job that then 
submitted the one you are really interested in?  

I have never used ZEKE but surely it did not just up and decide to submit a 
job.  Some form of input to ZEKE must have specified "when this condition 
occurs then ...."  ZEKE should have some kind of report that allows you to see 
the active directives.  The relevant directive must tell ZEKE where to find the 
job.
