SUBJECT:        Code/400 access to AS/400 via ISPs (getting tcp/ip 
addr)


Does anyone know of an AS/400 command or API which enables you to
retrieve your own current TCP/IP address when connected to the AS/400 via
an ISP? When I dial into the ISP, an address is assigned automatically
and therefore it will be different each time I connect. When I run
CODE/400s STRCODE command, I need this IP address in order to get the
host server started. As a user with authority to configure TCP/IP, I know
a way to locate the address using NETSTAT (depending upon how many other
users are also on) but I would like to write a command/program to STRCODE
from a menu and hide the complexity from the typical, lesser authority,
users. Can this be down? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. RF
