Let's take a step back.

What are you trying to accomplish?

"SET HOST" is not an NCP command

NCP>sho exec char

Node Volatile Characteristics as of 25-OCT-2019 10:08:00

Executor node = 1.149 (BROOKS)

Identification           = HP DECnet for OpenVMS I64
 
[...]
Type                     = nonrouting IV

NCP>set host
%NCP-E-SYNTAX, command syntax error
SET \HOST\

If you are trying to connect to another system via DECnet, the DCL
command is SET HOST, independent of the Phases of DECnet involved, on
either side of the connection.
