- You can do this in DCL:
-
- $ SHO DISP/SYMBOL
- $ SHO SYM DECW$DISPLAY*
- DECW$DISPLAY_NODE == "NODE14"
- DECW$DISPLAY_SCREEN == "0"
- DECW$DISPLAY_SERVER == "0"
- DECW$DISPLAY_TRANSPORT == "DECNET"
-
- I don't know if this will help you, because I don't know how to do it from
- a program. But if you are using DCL, then the symbol DECW$DISPLAY_NODE will
- contain the info you seek.
