Specifies that a logical port on your local node is dedicated to an application service. The /DEDICATED qualifier requires the /SERVICE qualifier. To set up an application service for a logical port on a LAT service node: 1. Create the service by specifying the CREATE SERVICE /APPLICATION command and then define the dedicated port by specifying the CREATE PORT/DEDICATED command. You can include these commands in LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM. 2. Associate the dedicated ports with the service by specifying the SET PORT/DEDICATED/SERVICE command. 3. Start the application program. Within the program, allocate dedicated ports with the same name as those defined in LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM.
