Perhaps we all should consider a better use of our time than worrying about 
inconsequential things such as duplicate jobs being submitted? (8-{]}

I, for one, do not understand what the problem is. (8-{[}

Space in the JESx checkpoint area is also a finite resource even if the job 
never runs.  Each job submitted requires a small amount of DASD space in the 
checkpoint area.  Perhaps you should also consider preventing any given user 
from submitting an infinite  number of valid,  authorized, uniquely-named jobs.

I agree that one should control resources.  We have written a mechanism to 
replace SUBMIT which, based on an authorization scheme, a job runs with 
authority other than one's own.  And all actions are logged.  And noone 
has the authority to approve one's own job. 

The approval scheme is granular enough that each person has one or more 
demographics of "group".  Each approver has a list of groups they can 
approve. 

It has a number of usability features involving symbolic replacement and 
running lists of jobs.  One can also specify the lpar to run on, but 
unfortunately not the plex.
