RE: How to retrieve IP address

[Chris Bipes <ChrisB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Set host id / Get host id are basically useless functions.  The following is
an extract from one of my client programs:

D serveraddr      DS                                     
D  sin_family                    5i 0 INZ                
D  sin_port                      5u 0 INZ                
D  sin_addr                     10u 0 INZ                
D   sin_addrA                    4a   OVERLAY(sin_addr)  
D  sin_zero                      8a   INZ                

As you can see the sin_addr is a long integer, 4 bytes, and overlaid with a
4 character field.  Eval sin_addrA = x'A4A41207' (164 164 18 7 as hex)

I have never coded the gethostid/sethostid functions so I do not have an
examples to give to use.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your response. You gave me the solution. But you didn't tell
how to implement it. How to perform setHostId function?. If I want to
hard code my IP i.e 
164.164.18.7 in long integer format how to do it? Any help.
