On V5R1, you could try:

%XLATE('?':'.':%EDITW(IPADDR:'   ?   ?   ?   '))

BTW, are you sure that's really what you want?  Normally, IP
addresses are stored in 32 bits.  If you treat that as
a unsigned numeric, you only get 10 digits.  You have to
convert each byte individually to a number in the range 1-255
to get to the quoted quad notation.
