This is a "bare-bones" thingy to which you should add lots of error
checking, yada, yada, yada. But it works...

Create a command file (or UDC) called, for example, "strm" which does the
following:

   parm jobfile
   print !jobfile;start=1;end=1                       > tmpfile
   echo !!setvar streamer_ip "!HPSTDIN_NETWORK_ADDR" >> tmpfile
   print !jobfile;start=2                            >> tmpfile
   stream tmpfile
   purge tmpfile,temp

Then, instead of using MPE's STREAM command, use STRM.
This will simply insert a SETVAR statement into the job, whatever job you
pass it, and your (the streamer's) IP address will be available to the job.

Enjoy!
