[mod.computers.vax] AUTHORIZE assistance ?

   Hi again.  I've got a problem with AUTHORIZE;  I expect I don't
understand something (it has happened before).
   To map UICs into a local accounting scheme, I use identifiers for
all UICs.  When I use DISKQUOTA for disk charging, I then get those
nice identifiers in place of the UIC, so I have no down stream
mapping to do.
   Almost all my UICs have the form nnnnn_mmmm    (where nnnnn is a
5 digit octal number and mmmm is a 4 digit octal number).  The one
exception is [0,0].  No matter how I try, I cannot define 0_0 to be
identified with [0,0];  When I try    ADD/ID/VAL=UIC:[0,0] 0_0
the identifier for 0_0 ends up being %X80010003.
   What don't I understand?    And thanks.
