You're asking for a solution to a problem that we don't understand.

Once the job has started, the JCL has already been interpreted & converted 
which would render this idea useless. 

You could write a JES exit to insert the SET statement.

The second problem with this concept is restarting the job at a step that 
bypasses adding this statement.

 What is the problem you want to solve.
