First, are your clock set correctly? There are hardware and software clocks and time zones to set.
Run showclks.pubxl.telesup to check them. (My times are Central Standard.)

If these are all correct, then all you should have to do is schedule one of the following jobs. I will let you figure out which one you run in Spring verses Fall. Note the setclock does NOT specify the time only the changing time zone.
!JOB SPRINGUP,MANAGER.SYS;HIPRI;OUTCLASS=,1
!setvar hpautocont true
!SHOWCLOCK
!SETCLOCK TIMEZONE = W5:00
!SHOWCLOCK
!EOJ
:print fallback.job
!JOB FALLBACK,MANAGER.SYS;HIPRI;OUTCLASS=,1
!setvar hpautocont true
!SHOWCLOCK
!SETCLOCK TIMEZONE = W6:00
!SHOWCLOCK
!EOJ
IMPORTANT NOTE: These jobs are for the Central Time Zone. Your time zone may not match mine.
Also NOTE: The time in the Fall will gradually adjust over a period of the hour between 2:00am and well 2:00am that occurs an hour later as you set the clock BACK.
Finally for experts... If international time conversion is important to you, there are two additional things to do.
1) Set a system-wide UDC to set the TZ variable. (And perhaps account UDCs if accounts are for different locations)
:showvar tz
TZ = CST6CDT
2) There is also a tztab.lib.sys that needs to be updated when countries change when or if they do DST.
:l tztab.lib.sys
ACCOUNT= SYS GROUP= LIB
FILENAME CODE ------------LOGICAL RECORD----------- ----SPACE----

This is all you should ever need to know about MPE systems and time setting. Let me know if I missed or messed up anything.

Subject: [HP3000-L] SETCLOCK & TIMEZONE
Some day I'll write this down.
This Sunday when using setclock to set the time ahead one hour, should the timezone be advanced one hour as well?
