Johnny,
The script appears to work as advertised on VAX VMS 7.3. However, on Alpha VMS 8.3, I get this:
$ @mim::fix.cmd
%DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters
\NAME\
%DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters
\NAME\
%DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters
\NAME\
(etc)
Any ideas?
Ian

Ok. Done. For VMS users, just grab MIM::FIX.COM, and run it under DCL, with appropriate privileges, and you'll have an up-to-date nodename database.

Thanks.

Nope. (This on a VMS box with a rather outdated nodename database):

Notice that the node YELLOW already exists, but with another number.
That cause an error when you try and set it.
You need to clear nodes where you see that error.
By the way, I could do a generic clear in the VMS command procedure, before starting the defines. Would people prefer that?

Grab the file SG1::[DECNET]NU2.COM. Ignore the errors. It does depend on MIM being defined as 1.13. This procedure makes use of the file MIM::DU4:[DECNET]NODENAMES.DAT. Johnny creates this file for this procedure. I will not update your area nodes - that is your responsibility. It can be run interactively or via batch. It must be run from a priv'd account.

(bumping an old thread)
Johnny,
excuse my ignorance, but how do I execute your fix.cmd inside NCP? Is there a VMS DCL one-liner that I can type that will execute NCP and cause it to run your script?
Doh! I have always assumed that VMS was as generic as RSX, and that basically any program with a standard like interface like NCP took @filename as a possible command, meaning to read commands from that file. It would appear VMS don't do that.
Brian's sugegstion using PIPE looks reasonable, but I can create a more VMS-specific command file as well. Hang on...
I now have a MIM::US:[DECNET]FIX.COM, which should be usable from DCL on VMS...
Johnny
Thanks!

Did you manage to fix the problem with mim not reporting the full node list? It's about time I grabbed an updated copy (with all of the new additions) but I didn't want to grab something that was corrupt.
I've been fighting MIM about that, but for some reason it just will not cooperate. I have two solutons for you:
1. Copy each area as individual commands (MIM knows it all, it just seems that the list of known nodes does not list all known nodes now. Bug in NCP methinks at this point...)
2. Grab MIM::US:[DECNET]FIX.CMD which contains all the DEFINE commands for NCP for all the nodes, and run it in NCP on your machine.
I can create command files in other formats easily if there are any special requests. Just let me know...

Hey, that's a good scheme. I will likely do that as well.

Excellent. :-) Would you please remove "GW" at 61.1 and add

Sign me up for that as well.

Done.
