Previous contributors proposed using a logical name
(in LNM$SYSTEM or LNM$GROUP_000001) where the name is built
from the queue name.

Actually, you need not use this indirect way, but you can pass the
logical name which holds the desired information as the 'device name'
with the qualifier /ON=[node::]logname .

Example (extract of SYSTARTUP, so UIC group is 000001):

        $ define/group  NODE7_LCB0      "NODE7::LCB0:/options"
        $!
        $ init/queue /processor=...     NODE7_PRINT /on=NODE7_LCB0
