Take a look at the MVSVAR function in the fine manual.

draviki,

Use MVSVAR to find your system name, then use the TSO PING command with the REXX OUTTRAP() function and parse the first line of output:

/* REXX - store local IP address into variable 'ip_address' */
sysname = MVSVAR('SYSNAME')

rc_out = OUTTRAP('ping.')

ADDRESS TSO "PING" sysname

rc_out = OUTTRAP('OFF')

PARSE VAR ping.1 .'('ip_address')'.

Hi BRGR88,
By MVSVAR u r just getting to know in which system u r in. But by that u r trying to ping the system. That is not always possible. May be it is running in ur system but it will not work evry where. Because sometimes the admin shorts the privillage of using "tso ping" to a normal developer.

Hi Draviki

You can try this code to solve your problem.

Code:

/* REXX                                                           */
/*                                                          Paddy */
TRACE o
CALL SOCKET 'INITIALIZE','RSCLIENT' /* initilize IP Connexion */
ADDR = SOCKET('GETHOSTID') /* retrieve ip addr                */
PARSE VAR ADDR RT IPADD    /* parse rt = return code ipadd ip address*/
SAY IPADD
exit

I hope in this help.
Best regards.

Hi superk,

You are right. TCP/IP is not active at my site. The telnet is tunneled through a webservice.

However, the topic is really interesting.
