DB-REMOTE-HOST function

Returns a character string containing the IP address of the database connection. The IP address format is determined by the Internet Protocol used when the connection was established. A single input parameter identifies the database, which can be either the logical database name or database number. If the database is not connected using TCP/IP or the -ipver IPv6 startup parameter is not used, the function returns the Unknown value (?).
