Well, here are the symbols:

  M.SNAM is the system name (apparently not related to DECnet)
  M.DNAM is the DECnet node name
  M.LNAM is te LAT (default?) service name
  M.DHOM is the DECnet area number (octal!)
  M.DNUM is the DECnet node number (octal!)

Beware: the names are SIXBIT strings, so you must discover how to input SIXBIT
vaules with FILDDT (I have no idea, probably it's something like <ESC>letter).

Correction/update: the above symbols are only used during MONGEN, but then are
equated to other ones inside the monitor sources. These are the equivalences:

    STANAM is the system name (apparently not related to DECnet)
    DCNNAM is the DECnet node name
    LATNAM is te LAT (default?) service name
    DCNHOM is the DECnet area number (octal!)
    DCNNUM is the DECnet node number (octal!)

HTH,
G.
