STRWCH Issue

I've been using the STRWCH successfully for a long time to watch a message queue for a specific message ID.  I run multiple watches on my system most of the time.  I'm now trying to implement a more global watch that can check all messages arriving at a message queue for a specific text string in the detailed message.  I have it coded and the STRWCH completes successfully, but the exit program never gets called.

Here's the command that I'm using to start the process:

STRWCH SSNID(MYTEST) WCHPGM(MYLIB/MYEXIT)
WCHMSG((*ALL *NONE *MSGDTA  *INFO *GE 00)) WCHMSGQ((QSYSOPR))

After I start the watch, I then send a simple SNDMSG to QSYSOPR with some nonsense text.  The exit program never gets called.

What am I missing?

I know I could just read messages from the message queue using an API, but for a number of structural reasons, I'd really like to do this using the Watch function.
