I am trying to use the QMHSNDPM api, but sending a message to the

If I use *EXT instead of *HSTLOG, I do get the message to break to

Given the special value *HSTLOG is an apparent attempt to direct the
message to the message queue object QHST in QSYS [though as I recall, I
had noticed that the OS may utilize incorrectly a value of QHST in
*LIBL], perhaps to circumvent an apparent issue with what presumably is
a supported special value, just code the value as?:
msgmsgq='QHST QSYS '
