It should be a simple change to move the JCL from the assembler program to the
job scheduler. The assembler program would then issue a saf call to verify they
are allowed to request the job and then use a dataset trigger. I don't think
the dataset must exist when issuing the trigger rather than on dataset close.
The trigger event can be specified in the JCL allowing the user to pass some
data from the CICS transaction.
