  For a description of how to avoid the TCP/IP address being specified 
in the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn for the remote Output Queue being created, 
review the help text for the RMTSYS parameter for the CRTOUTQ CL 
command.  Note: Of course that help text having replaced the word "use" 
with "specify" plus having replaced "instead of" with either "for" or 
"on" [as seen in the v5r3 help text; included below] would be much 
clearer IMO:

    Remote system (RMTSYS) - Help

     Specifies the remote system to send files to when a
     remote writer is started (using the STRRMTWTR command)
     to the output queue.  This is referred to as
     the "address" by SNADS, and the "host" by TCP/IP.

     The possible values are:

       <<SNIPped>>

       *INTNETADR

         The INTNETADR parameter is used to identify the system
         when a remote writer is started to the output queue.
         If you have a host table or a domain name server on your
         TCP/IP network, you can use the remote-system-name
         instead of this parameter.

       <<SNIPped>>

  Per my "Note:" above, I think that last sentence should have said 
instead: "If you have a host table or a domain name server on your 
TCP/IP network, you can specify the remote-system-name for this 
parameter; i.e. the TCP/IP "host" name can be specified, rather than 
specifying the TCP/IP address of the "host" on the INTNETADR parameter 
along with specifying the special value *INTNETADR for this parameter."

  Anyhow... That suggests the modification to the reconstructed command 
string from above, would have the new command string appearing like the 
following [wherein the INTNETADR() is no longer specified, per having 
specified the TCP/IP "host" *name* for the RMTSYS() parameter]:

    CRTOUTQ RMTSYS(RmtSysName /* for TCP/IP address: 10.0.3.102 */)
            RMTPRTQ(ITDEPT) CNNTYPE(*IP) /* Omit INTNETADR() spec */
