In SAS 9.2 I believe that this information is stored on an automatic macro
variable.  Try:

%put _AUTOMATIC_;

Hi Joe,

Thanks, this solves it.

However - and this is another problem - there is a security problem (access
denied) when the code is submitted (rsubmit) to a server.

Regards,
Jesper

One option: put it into a pipe file.

filename a pipe 'ping myhost';

then read it from that.

So:
filename a pipe 'ping yahoo.com';

data test;

infile a lrecl=200 pad;
format test $200.;
input
@1 test $200.;
run;

I think ping is probably not the optimal function for this though  -
nslookup on windows for example is better.

Hi,



How can I retrieve a host IP address?



The following works:



data _null_;

call system('ping myhost');

run;



- but how can I retrieve the host IP address into e.g. a macro variable?
