You could use the LIST command to display event information.
Note: When you issue the LIST command from page mode, you must use the abbreviated form of the LIST command (L).
You could do this for a specific event or all events "-"
An example from my Development system.
L LEVEL(<PREFIX>.-)
<PREFIX>.EVENT1 IS SUSPENDED
<PREFIX>.EVENT2 REQUIRES TRIGGER
<PREFIX>.EVENT3 NEXT DUE AT 07.58.00 ON TUE FEB 28TH, 2017
In the example above I used the hyphen to get many events, You could do that or just the specific event you are looking for.
You could create a REXX program that send the L LEVEL(<PREFIX>.-) command to ESP and check for SUSPENED. Call the REXX program from a JCL Program that is an ESP Job that is scheduled at your desired interval.
Does that sound like something that would provide what you need?
