RPGIV/Sockets

KRR,

Here is a brief sample that seems to do what you want:

     D*
     D* Compile with:
     D* CRTBNDRPG PGM(xxxxxxx) DFTACTGRP(*NO)
     D*
     DGetHost          PR              *   EXTPROC('gethostbyaddr')
     D                               10u 0
     D                               10i 0 VALUE
     D                               10i 0 VALUE
     DInetAddr         PR            10u 0 EXTPROC('inet_addr')
     D                               16
     D*
     DH_Errno          PR              *   EXTPROC('__h_errno')
     D*
     DAF_INET          S             10i 0 INZ(2)
     Diaddress         S             10u 0
     Dcaddress         S             16    INZ('13.13.13.13')
     DHostPtr          S               *
     Dhost_name        S             50    BASED(h_name)
     Derrno_val        S             10I 0 BASED(errno_ptr)
     Derrno_ptr        S               *
     Dhostent          DS                  BASED(HostPtr)
     D h_name                          *
     D h_aliases                       *
     D h_addrtype                    10i 0
     D h_length                      10i 0
     D h_addr_lst                      *
     C*
     C* Get 32 bit IP address form dotted decimal format
     C*
     C     caddress      cat       x'00':0       caddress
     C                   eval      iaddress = InetAddr(caddress)
     C*
     C* Get Host name
     C*
     C                   eval      HostPtr = GetHost(iaddress
     C                                               : %SIZE(iaddress)
     C                                               : AF_INET)
     C                   if        HostPtr <> *NULL
     C*
     C* If successful:
     C*
     C     host_name     dsply
     C*
     C                   else
     C*
     C* If failure, display H_Errno value (see QSYSINC/H NETDB)
     C*
     C     'NOT FOUND'   dsply
     C                   eval      errno_ptr = H_Errno
     C     errno_val     dsply
     C                   endif
     C*
     C                   move      '1'           *inlr
     C                   return
