Hello,
I need FTP a file to mainframe. I connect to mainframe using Citrix. And I don't know the host name for mainframe. Is there any way I can get the IP of the mainframe so that I can FTP the file using the TSO ID and Password.
Thanks.

Enrico, that's a nice suggestion buthave you ever worked at offshore location? Probably not, getting such info is like you are asking for their life!
Can someone please edit the "fid" to "find"? I just realized this.

Usually, in the started task JCL for TCP, there is a DD card for PROFILE. Look for the data-set assigned to this DD and you should find the Port definitions. Or try this, possibly:
Code: Select all
/* REXX */
PARSE VALUE SOCKET('INITIALIZE', 'TEST') WITH RC . . SERVER
PARSE VALUE SOCKET('GETHOSTID') WITH RC IP
SAY IP
PARSE VALUE SOCKET('TERMINATE','TEST') WITH RC REST
EXIT

Actually, in the HOME section of the PROFILE data set you can find the IP address(es) assigned to that LPAR. Depending upon the site there could be 1 or more IP addresses assigned to each LPAR. You may be able to read this data set but I'm not sure -- it may depend on the site.
