Thanks for the reply, Keven.

However, this solution isn't really the optimum solution I was looking for.

I need to be able to change the Domain and/or IP address programmatically
from within a Cobol/Vplus application. Command files are out of the
question.

I was thinking more along the lines of using MPEiX intrinsics, AIF's etc
to perform this task but have not been able to find one yet.
