Subject: Get Host By IP


I am having a problem with a sub-procedure I am trying to create to get a
host name by providing an IP address.  If anybody can spot a problem or lend
any insights, I would appreciate it.

D #GetHostName    PR            64A
D   InAddress                   15A   Value

D inet_addr       PR            10U 0 ExtProc('inet_addr')
D  IPAddr                         *   Value Options(*String)

D GetHostByAddr   PR              *   ExtProc('gethostbyaddr')
D  IP_Address                     *
D  AddrLen                      10I 0 Value
D  AddrType                     10I 0 Value


P #GetHostName    B                   Export
