Try the following:
ADDTCPHTE  INTNETADR(x.x.x.x) HOSTNAME('LASER12') TEXT('accounts')
                                          
CRTOUTQ    OUTQ(QGPL/LASER12) RMTSYS(LASER12) RMTPRTQ(PORT1) +
                                     
           CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE(*OTHER) MFRTYPMDL(*WSCSTA4) +
                                
           WSCST(QWPHPLSR4) SEPPAGE(*NO) TEXT('accounts')
