You might consider using the $GETUAI/$SETUAI system services instead of
writing to the file directly.  That way, your program will be more
independent of changes in SYSUAF in the future, and you won't have to
worry about the fillers.  Of course, use of these system services
requires VMS v4.4 and up, so if you aren't running 4.4 or 4.5, you're
going to have to figure it out the hard way.
