VMS Help ASSIGN, Qualifiers, /TABLE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /TABLE=name

    Requires write (W) access to the table if the table is
    shareable.

    Specifies the logical name table in which the logical name is to
    be entered. You can use the /TABLE qualifier to specify a user-
    defined logical name table (created with the CREATE/NAME_TABLE
    command); to specify the process, job, group, or system logical
    name tables; or to specify the process or system logical name
    directory tables.

    If you specify the table name using a logical name that has more
    than one translation, the logical name is placed in the first
    table found. For example, if you specify ASSIGN/TABLE=LNM$FILE_
    DEV and LNM$FILE_DEV is equated to LNM$PROCESS, LNM$JOB,
    LNM$GROUP, and LNM$SYSTEM, then the logical name is placed in
    LNM$PROCESS.

    If you do not explicitly specify the /TABLE qualifier, the
    default is the /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS qualifier.
