$ PIPE MCR NCP < FIX.CMD

When I do this, I get a bunch of errors like:

%NCP-W-INVPVA, Invalid parameter value , Name
Remote node =     32.5 (YELLOW)


Am I doing something wrong?

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 (This on a VMS box with a rather outdated nodename database):

$ mcr ncp
NCP>sho nod yellow

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?
