MPE is even flexible enough to eliminate the reason for rebooting that you
mention.  Below is a small piece of our backup job that reviews the Job and
Spool file numbers and resets them automatically:

!   IF !HPJOBNUM>999 THEN
!      SETCOUNTER COUNTER=JOBNUM;BASE=1;MAX=1000;SHOW
!   ENDIF
!
!   SETVAR SPOOLNUM;LTRIM('!HPSPOOLID',"O")
!   IF !SPOOLNUM>999 THEN
!      SETCOUNTER COUNTER=OUTSP;BASE=1;MAX=1000;SHOW
!   ENDIF

Happy enjoyment of MPE to all that appreciate it.
