Library /sys$common/syshlp/clue.hlb CLUE, /LOCAL  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  /LOCAL

  If /LOCAL is specified, the node name in the dump must match the node
  name of the running system. If the node names do not match, the CLUE
  History file will not be updated when /BINARY is used and the ASCII
  file generated will be truncated.

  If the node names do match, the CLUE History file will be updated
  (if /BINARY specified).

  When /LOCAL is used, a Symbol, CLUE$PREV_CRASH, will be defined by CLUE.
  This symbol will be set to the Crash type (e.g. INVEXCEPTN or OPERATOR).
  If the dump is not from the local system, this symbol will be set to
  "WRONG_NODE". The purpose of this symbol is allow other software to
  tell if CLUE processed a valid crash from this system.
