What do you mean by "it doesn't show up?"  Does that mean that it's
showing the number "3000" instead of the text "as-sts?"  Or do you mean
that there's no entry in netstat at all?

The former (Showing a number instead of a name) would indicate that you
didn't set up the service table entry correctly.  For example, maybe
it's a UDP port and you defined TCP in the service table entry.

The latter (showing nothing) would indicate that the application in
question is not running, and therefore not listening for connections on
that port.

I've never heard of enabling or disabling a TCP function by adding or
removing a service table entry...  Normally, you start the IBM-supplied
services with STRTCPSVR or STRHOSTSVR, and the 3rd party services by
running a command that they've supplied for you.

The items in WRKSRVTBLE are just for displaying a name such as "telnet"
instead of a number like "23."   Just a name to number translation
table...
