RE: Detect client IP when remote job run via QZRCSRVS?

David,

JOBI0600 doesn't always supply an IP address.  It depends upon whether
the client doing the connecting sets it, or not.

I finally got back to this today ... and I think I've found a solution.

Turns out that QUSRJOBI format JOBI0600 has a client IP field.  It
appears to work for both workstation and server submitted requests.

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/index.htm?info/apis/qu
srjobi.htm

"Client IP address. The IP address of the client for which this server
is doing work. When this field is blank, this thread is not serving a
client. An address is expressed in the form www.xxx.yyy.zzz (for
example, 130.99.128.1). This field is not guaranteed to be an IP
address. This field is set to the value set by the QWTCHGJB API.End of
change"

I need to validate it a bit more ... but it looks promising.
