"What is the destination name (or number) for 'application'?"
The destination type can be either a name or a number.
If you selected name as the destination type in response to
the previous prompt, your reply to this prompt can be either
the application name (for example, NOTES), or a destination
object name (for example, IAF:.SALES.BOSTON). The destination
object name is the DECdns full name of the node that provides the
application.
The application name can be from 1 to 16 characters. The
destination object name can be a maximum of 512 characters and
is entered in this format:
NamespaceNickname:.DirectoryPath.NodeObject
If you selected number as the destination type in response to
the previous prompt, your reply to this prompt must be an object
number.
DECnet software uses object numbers as unique object identifiers.
Object numbers have a range of 1 to 255. Generic objects such as
MAIL and FAL have object numbers that are recognized throughout
the network. User-defined images may have unique object numbers;
numbers between 128 and 255 are reserved for this purpose.
If you are adding a user-defined application, pick a number from
128 to 255. If you are adding an application defined by HP,
select the appropriate number from Object Type Numbers.
