Is there any way to find out the IP address of user's machine who has logged into mainframe?

Nothing easy.

An operator command -

D NET,TSOUSER,ID=userid

Last year I tried writing code to link SMF 118 record data with with the VTAM terminal ID in SMF 30 records. This effort failed, in part because I couldn't figure out what the report should look like. I still think my idea has merit, but I can't quite make it work. It's difficult because a single VTAM LU can be connected to several different IP addresses, though only one IP address at a time. The reverse is true; one IP address can be connected to several VTAM LUs. As I'm writing this post, I have 2 TSO sessions running. Each session has a unique LU, to one IP address.

After I put in my post I decided to try again. I simplified my requirement.

I spent a day battling a loop, but I got it connecting a VTAM LU to a TSO session most of the time, which was my target. I got this -

XXXXXX 03/19 2:05:29->03/19 5:33:44 3:28 TCPA0817 123.456.789.123

The userid, XXXXXX, and IP address are faked. The session times, elapsed time for the session (3 hours, 28 minutes), and LU name are "real."

It matches TSO user logoff data in SMF type 30 sub type 5 records with IP data in SMF type 118 records. Roughly 1000 new Assembler lines + another 1000 lines in library modules.
