ESS$INFOSERVER.HLB  —  CREATE  SERVICE  Parameters
 serviceName

    The name by which the service is known to the local area network.
    The service name can consist of alphanumeric characters and
    dollar signs ($). It can be 255 characters or fewer in length.

 device-or-partitionName

    The device or partition name is the name of the OpenVMS disk
    device or partition being served to the local area network.
    The name of the device or partition must have been created
    previously.

    Explanations of device and partition names follow.

    o  Device names

       Devices served to the local area network are OpenVMS disk
       devices; use OpenVMS device names when you specify an
       InfoServer device name.

       A disk specification must end with a colon.

    o  Partition names

       Partitions are container files that are served to the network.
       As such, they have OpenVMS file names with a default file type
       of ".ESS$PARTITION". Partition names, including the device,
       directory, and file name, can be no more than 242 characters
       in length.

       Support for partitions is limited in this version. VSI strongly
       suggests that you use LD devices to support partitioned hard
       drives. See the DCL command LD HELP for more information.
