Use a PROTECTED id in RACF and SURROGAT authority to allow the scheduler's RACF 
id to submit jobs with the specified ID(s). PROTECTED says that you cannot use 
USER= & PASSWORD= on the job card to assign the RACF id. RACF will simply not 
allow it. The attempt fails with a RACF error. SURROGAT says that the scheduler 
can specify USER= without PASSWORD= to run a job with the specified 
(authorized) RACF id. This is what we do with CA-7 scheduling.

Of course, you still need the submit exit for non-PROTECTED ids which a person 
may know the password to. And it is easy to bypass:

//MYIDA JOB
//SUBMIT EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=some.pds(member)

some.pds(member):

//OTHERID JOB USER=otherid,PASSWORD=password
//* THE REST OF THE JOB
//* ...
//
