Have you gotten htonl() to work? I was on V4R5 until last week and when I tried to compile using htonl() it could find it anywhere. I suppose I should try againon V5R3.
I've used it successfully since VRM420 but always from C. I don't do sockets in RPG--just because you can doesn't mean you should. The C includes on OS/400 effectively map htonl() and htons() to no-ops because the values they operate on are already in network byte order by virtue of OS/400 being a big-endian system. This means that they don't exist as exported functions therefore from RPG IV you can't use them anyway.
They should always be used in C code because they make the code more portable and as I said earlier I was thinking in C rather than in RPG when I made my comments.
