How can a remote outq communicate with a remote system without an I.P.
address?

For a description of how to avoid the TCP/IP address being specified
in the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn for the remote Output Queue being created,
review the help text for the RMTSYS parameter for the CRTOUTQ CL
command. Note: Of course that help text having replaced the word "use"
with "specify" plus having replaced "instead of" with either "for" or
"on" [as seen in the v5r3 help text; included below] would be much
clearer IMO:
Remote system (RMTSYS) - Help
Specifies the remote system to send files to when a
remote writer is started (using the STRRMTWTR command)
to the output queue. This is referred to as
the "address" by SNADS, and the "host" by TCP/IP.
The possible values are:
<<SNIPped>>
*INTNETADR
The INTNETADR parameter is used to identify the system
when a remote writer is started to the output queue.
If you have a host table or a domain name server on your
TCP/IP network, you can use the remote-system-name
instead of this parameter.
<<SNIPped>>
Per my "Note:" above, I think that last sentence should have said
instead: "If you have a host table or a domain name server on your
TCP/IP network, you can specify the remote-system-name for this
parameter; i.e. the TCP/IP "host" name can be specified, rather than
specifying the TCP/IP address of the "host" on the INTNETADR parameter
along with specifying the special value *INTNETADR for this parameter."
Anyhow... That suggests the modification to the reconstructed command
string from above, would have the new command string appearing like the
following [wherein the INTNETADR() is no longer specified, per having
specified the TCP/IP "host" *name* for the RMTSYS() parameter]:
CRTOUTQ RMTSYS(RmtSysName /* for TCP/IP address: 10.0.3.102 */)
RMTPRTQ(ITDEPT) CNNTYPE(*IP) /* Omit INTNETADR() spec */
