RE: SDM1002 on Service Agent connect via VPN

Great catch.  I just created the line QESPPLIN on my system to see if it
fixes our problem.

Thanks,

A follow up with a circumvention.  Looking at the unnecessary attempt to 
check the config status of line QESPPLIN I figured "why not create a dummy 
line description and call it QESPPLIN ?"

SO - here's the QSDPRBMON joblog after doing this to circumvent the bad 
IBM code in Service Director:

    118 - RTVCFGSTS CFGD(QESPPLIN) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STSCDE(&LINESTS) 
    166 - SNDSRVRQS ACTION(*PRBID) RMTCPNAME(*IBMSRV) RMTNETID(*NETATR) 
   PRBID('0404172371') 
 Sending service request 0404172371. 
 Service request processing complete. Contact your service provider. 
 Problem reporting complete. Service number is 57441. 
    184 - RTVCFGSTS CFGD(QESPPLIN) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STSCDE(&LINESTS) 
        - RETURN        /* RETURN due to end of CL program */ 


Just finding QESPPLIN satisfies the program and it carries on and 
(successfully) does the SNDSRVRQS command - which uses the VPN Internet 
connection and works fine !  :-)
