You could call this java method from your RPG:
java.net.InetAddress.getByAddress(new
byte[]{(byte)0x192,(byte)0x168,(byte)0x0,(byte)0x1}).getHostName();
Rig it up where you pass the IP address and put it where I've put
192.168.0.1 and return the string result. I usually find it easier to
change the String result into a character array in java and return that
to RPG.

Subject: RPG code to do DNS resolution
Is there any way to have an RPG program do DNS resolution and turn an
name into an IP address and do the reverse and turn an IP address into a
name? What I really want to do right now is turn an ip address into a
name but the name to IP could be handy also. I could probably use a web
service from RPG but would prefer something local on the iSeries like an
API into the IBM DNS. I looked but could not find anything on the API
side.
