Unless you have a busy system and the counters roll over
on their own.  You can in that case get duplicate job numbers.
I've seen systems roll over job numbers within 24 hours with
the default counters in effect!  Now that's a lot of batch
activity. :)

OK, had me worried for a minute. But if you process, archive,
and purge all $STDLIST from your system at regular intervals,
between SETCOUNTER's and at system restarts, then it
should NOT be a problem.

They must have either restarted the system, or used SETCOUNTER to reset the
job numbers.  That's the problem with this technique.
