When I enter a command for a global entity (which is a fullname) and
just the entity name is entered, the whole fullname is returned.
Can someone tell me the call which retrieves this information.
Ideally, I would like to do it from outside of the MCC environment
(through a system service call, if there is one.) If this is
not possible, then how would it be done within an AM?
EX: enter -> create tpcontroller tpcon1
returned -> TPSDNS_NS:.tpcon1
(want to retrieve TPSDNS_NS portion)

You can use mcc_dns_opaque_fullname() routine to convert a fullname
into an opaque format fullname, and then call
mcc_dns_fullname_string() to convert the opaque fullname into
a string format. The string format fullname will be prefixed with
the namespace name.
If you do not want to use DECmcc routines, you can use SYS$DNS() or
SYS$DNSW() system service routine (check with NOTED::DNS or
NOTED::DNS_PROGRAMMER notes conference). You can use function codes
dns$_parse_fullname_string and dns$_full_opaque_to_string in
SYS$DNS() calls.
