The prompted Change SMTP Attributes (CHGSMTPA) should have effected the invocation of a Prompt Override Program (PMTOVRPGM aka POP) named QTMSMTAP in QTCP that would retrieve the current attributes for each parameter keyword for which the default parameter value of *SAME normally would be replaced with the current value.

If the *SAME values remain for the ?CHGSMTPA invocation, then most likely there would have been an error msg CPD680A "Current values could not be retrieved." presented in the message-line at the bottom of the prompted-command-panel [under the command-keys]. After pressing F1=Help on that message, for which the "Recovery" text states to use the F10=Display Messages In Job Log to see the preceding error message(s) for which the generic POP error was issued. A quite likely origin is the probable "Cause" text listed that suggests perhaps that "You do not have authority...", and the prior logged message will be revealed to be the msg TCP8050 "*IOSYSCFG authority required to use CHGSMTPA."

For that the recovery would be to have the invoking user profile have the Special Authority (SPCAUT) named *IOSYSCFG added; lacking any syntax that enables adding an element-value to a list [e.g. faux-syntax CHGUSRPRF SPCAUT(+*IOSYSCFG)], hopefully your version of the Change User Profile (CHGUSRPRF) similarly has a POP in order that the "+ for more values" can be utilized on the empty line presented for the Special Authority parameter.... or just use that empty line to add the additional special value if the current-value is not the Single-Value of *NONE [for which that value must be replaced\overwritten instead of using the empty line because a single-value trumps a non-single-value special-value specification].
