Hi,

I need a TCP/IP address of target machine. What are ways to get it? I tried NETSTAT command so far, but permission is denied.

ping -a xxx

taltyman, here the result for
PING:
CS V1R4: Pinging host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Unable to open RAW socket: EDC5111I Permission denied.
NSLOOKUP:
*** Can't find initialize address for server : No response from server
***

If there any other ways?

Sreejith, it works fine on another machine, but fails on machine that I need:

FORE
HOST ADDR = ESUBTASKNOTACTIVE Subtask not active
HOST NAME = ESUBTASKNOTACTIVE Subtask not active
DOMAIN = ESUBTASKNOTACTIVE Subtask not active

Any ideas?

Is the target machine the MVS machine that you are logged on to or is it remote?
Is it a mainframe?
Is TCPIP running on it?

taltyman,
1. It's a remote machine, I get in it via gateway, then I have TSO with standard ISPF staff.
2. I am sure it is.
3. I believe yes, but it seems I have no authority to TCPIP services.

The background of my question is that I would like to use FTP (e.g. for submitting jobs), but I don't know address of target machine.

kolusu, I'm authorized user and I'm permited to submit jobs under TSO/ISPF. I'm not trying to use a back door or something. You are right, I really can ask system people, but in my case it's a long story. I was looking for a way to retreive it by my own. Now I see that in this case the short way is to ask system folk. Smile

if you have read authority to the tcpip task's data sets, you could just look in there. One way to find that info is to use TASID to find the tcpip job jame, and look at its allocations. one will contain an allocation to something probably named (or with a member named) ...profile or tcpdata or similar. Look in that file. That is where the local ip address is configured.

also... try ftp from to 127.0.0.1 from you tso id. If you can't do it, then the whole excecise is moot
