htonl() and ntonl() are for converting integers from host byte order (big endian) to network byte order (big endian) and vice-versa. Since host and network byte order on the iSeries is the same, these operations are no-ops. They don't do anything.
They are not even procedures, as far as I know! They're C macros: This is from QSYSINC/NETINET,IN: #define htonl(qso_htonl) (qso_htonl) /* host byte order to long */ #define htons(qso_htons) (qso_htons) /* host byte order to short */ #define ntohl(qso_ntohl) (qso_ntohl) /* long to host byte order */ #define ntohs(qso_ntohs) (qso_ntohs) /* short to host byte order */As you can see, it DOES NOTHING. Why would you want to call it from an RPG program? Wait... is this VARPG?
