"Why do you need to know?" is an interesting question. Don't forget IPv6,
by the way.
There's also the fact that the local answer(s) to that question ("What's my
IP address?") aren't(isn't) necessarily or even very often the non-local
answer(s). Network Address Translation (NAT), proxies, VLANs,
Stan,
There's a big difference between an IP address of the current stack and a
usable IP address of the current stack. It would not be much use giving an IP
address of, say, a hipersocket interface home address which is not routable.
Although you can find out all the home addresses (there

The LPAR may have multiple IP addresses; what you need is the IP address for
your end of the session. But why doesn't the remote application get that
automatically? In fact, how does it communicate with you at all without it?

If IPv4 only, just do an INITAPI, GETHOSTID, TERMAPI. This will return
the primary address of the TCP/IP stack that your job is associated with.
But, if you already have a connection to another host, that host can get
your address easily.

What if you have more than 1 TCP/IP stack in your system?
