Imtiaz:

What's mostly missing is a bunch of info about the environment.

1. Is QSYSOPR signed on?
2. Is QSYSOPR *MSGQ allocated to any job?
3. If (2) is 'yes', then:
3a. What is INQMSGRPY() for the job?
3b. What is BRKMSG() for the job?
3c. What is QSYSOPR *MSGQ PGM()?

After that, do you see the message appear in QSYSOPR *MSGQ? Does it show *N as 
the reply there?

Maybe the problem is simply that you don't supply any  VALUES() parm on the 
SNDUSRMSG command or perhaps a DFT() parm. And since this "message" is coming 
in externally to your routine, your routine has no idea what values or default 
is appropriate.
