Perhaps the script needs a "CLEAR NODE *" at the beginning and a "SET KNOWN NODES *" at the end?

After setting the executor data, I could define all nodes. Erik On Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 02:02:59AM +0100, Johnny Billquist wrote: On 2013-02-19 01:48, Ian McLaughlin wrote: Yes, I would like this. I assume that you are the authoritive list, so I have no need to keep any data on my end. A generic script that I can execute on the command line that clears and updates all in one would be great. 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. Johnny Thanks.

Nope.

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.
