In the meantime you might write a routine--executed early in IPL--to set an installation-defined symbolic. A command-parsing STC run SUB=MSTR should execute before any user jobs that would make use of the symbolic. "Life is too short to wait for RFEs."
We set a number of symbolics that are all prefixed with our SHARE code, pretty much guaranteeing that they will never collide with IBM names. . . .

So either an ISFEXEC for the MVS Command or going into OPER in REXX could work. Not sure if there is a control block you could parse through to get that info.
