2513.0. "Premature EOF in IPautoconfig" by FOUR62::LICAUSE (Al Licause (338-5661)) Mon Mar 09 1992 00:26

    When running ip_autoconfig on a X1.2.15 system on VMS, it errors out
    with, if I remember correctly, a eof error. (Sorry, I'm not on-line
    with the system).
    
    In looking through the code for the second command procedure, I think
    it was MCC_MAKECONFIG.COM?, in the subrouting GET_GWY, the author is
    searching for the string "0.0.0.0" to check for the existance of a
    DECnet portal.  
    
    If this string is not found, nothing is written to SYS$SCRATCH:...
    and a premature EOF is detected on the first READ.
    
    I managed to fix this adding a NOON and a /END= to the READ statement.
    This jumps down a few lines, closes the file then RETURNS.
    
    Hope this helps, if it hasn't been found yet.

    Another approach is to add in UCX:
    
    SET ROUTE 0.0.0.0/GATEWAY=your_gateway
