In NCL the DEFINE command does not exist. The object is created every time
DECnet/OSI is started, with the NCL SET command.

From DECNET_MIGRATE:

! *** Converting the following NCP command to NCL:
! SET OBJECT FINGER FILE PUB:[FINGER]FINGER NUMBER 117 USER FING$SERVER PASSWORD XXX
!     Note - Conversion is not supported for attribute:  PASSWORD
CREATE NODE 0 SESSION CONTROL APPLICATION {{{FINGER}}}
SET NODE 0 SESSION CONTROL APPLICATION {{{FINGER}}} ADDRESS={NUMBER=117}, -
	IMAGE NAME={{{PUB:[FINGER]FINGER}}}, USER NAME={{{FING$SERVER}}}

This appears to be not completely correct. In real life only one pair of
braces around the address value is required and the 'NODE 0' clause is
redundant. The user name value must be enclosed in double quotes in stead
of braces.

Thus:

create session control application FINGER
set session control application FINGER address={number=117},-
	image name=PUB:[FINGER]FINGER, user name="FING$SERVER"


This should do it.

Let me know if you need more information.
