    How can I access the DECNET, not the cluster node name, from within a
    program ?
The logical SYS$NODE contains the DECnet node name.  (The cluster alias is
in another logical, something like SYS$CLUSTER_NODE.)

You can also you the system parameter NODENAME.  (You read this with the
SYS$GETSYI service, or the F$GETSYI DCL lexical.)  This is NOT, technically,
the DECnet nodename; it's the SCS nodename.  On any system in a cluster, the
two should agree.  However, in a system that's not part of the cluster, the
SCS nodename may not be defined.
