Sorry, but this won't work (I was led down the same path :)

HPLOCIPADDR, strangely (?) documented as:
     A global variable used by the CI that shows the IP
     address of a remote client; initial value is null
     string.  Type= R S

(If you think of the remote user (at, say, a PC running Reflection),
accessing a client (the 3000), then the phrase "remote client" almost
makes sense.  However, "address of this HP 3000" would make more sense,
I think.)

Despite that, HPLOCIPADDR is an empty string for batch jobs,
and for non-network sessions (e.g., console, serial).  Thus, you
can't count on it in all cases.

However, it is useful if you only need it for sessions coming in
over telet or NS-VT.
