John,
Not equal is <>
The System does not have to be in a restricted state for the telnet exit point. The exit program is only called when a telnet session first starts.
You can "move" the recreated program into the target library. All the normal cautions apply - ownership, authorizations, adopt authority, etc.
It is much easier to have the object you are going to move match the target object before you "install" it.
The only difficulty you may encounter is if someone is starting a telnet session when you "install" your change.

Subject: Modifying an exit point program
An exit point program is installed on QIBM_QTG_DEVINIT
It contains a single line that needs to be changed. It is free format. Existing line is testing for first three characters equal to "VPN"
Questions:
1) What is the not equal operator in free format RPG? Is it != or <>, or something else?
2) I recall the discussion on a mediator program. I can't recall if it was only needed for a data file change, or for any program change.
Does system have to be in restricted state to make this change?
3) Does recompile of the program into the target library accomplish all changes, or does the exit point have to be dropped an readded?
I ask, since I may be "asked" to make the changes. The person who functioned as sa, does not necessarily do this anymore.
