If your pause is of the form:

PAUSE JOB=jobname;EXIST

It sounds like you are out of luck if the job restreams itself under the
same jobname as the EXIST parameter will pause as long as a job exists by
that jobname.

If you could figure out the job number of the job that you want to wait for
and use the number in your pause statement that should work.
