Didn't you answer your own question above?

SHOWJOB ;JOB=#J'4124

Nothing has changed except the name that is displayed.

Don't know why you care, but since you apparently do, look into the
SETCOUNTER command.

Again, the SETCOUNTER command.

Since you did a "controlled" shutdown, you should be OK. Where possible, I
like to manually abort any jobs or sessions still hanging around before
shutting down - it is not clear to me if you did that.
