Creates a sequential text file (or files). Specify the content of the
file(s) on the lines following the command, one record per line. In
interactive mode, terminate the file input with CTRL/Z. In a command
procedure, terminate the file input with a line with a dollar sign in
column one or with the end of the command procedure.

 CREATE file-spec,...

ParametersQualifiers

/DIRECTORY/FDL/NAME_TABLE

file-spec
 Specification(s) of the file(s) being created. Wildcard characters are
 not allowed. The file name and the file type default to null strings.
 If the specified file already exists, a new version is created.

Additional information available:

/LOG/OWNER_UIC/PROTECTION/VOLUME

 /NOLOG (default)
 Displays the file specification of each new file created as the
 command executes.

 Requires SYSPRV privilege for a UIC other than your own.
 Specifies an owner UIC for the file. The default is the UIC of the
 current process.

 Specifies protection for the file. Specify ownership as SYSTEM, OWNER,
 GROUP, or WORLD and protection as R, W, E, or D. The default
 protection is the current default protection.

 Places the file on the specified relative volume of a multivolume set.
 By default, the file is placed arbitrarily in a multivolume set.

Creates one or more new directories or subdirectories.

Format
 CREATE/DIRECTORY directory-spec,...

 Requires write access to the master file directory (MFD) to create a
 first-level directory.

Additional information available:

ParametersQualifiers

directory-spec,...
 Valid directory specification optionally preceded by a device name
 (and colon); the directory defaults to the current default. Wildcard
 characters are not allowed.

Additional information available:

/LOG/OWNER_UIC/PROTECTION/VERSION_LIMIT
/VOLUME

 /NOLOG (default)
 Displays the directory specification of each directory created as the
 command executes.

 Requires SYSPRV privilege for a UIC other than your own.
 Specifies an owner UIC for the directory. The default is your UIC. You
 can specify the keyword PARENT in place of a UIC to mean the UIC of
 the parent directory.  If a user with privileges creates a subdirectory,
 the default is that the owner of the subdirectory will be the owner of
 the parent directory (or the owner of the Master File Directory if
 creating a main level directory).  If you do not specifiy the /OWNER_UIC
 qualifier when creating a directory, the command assigns ownership as
 follows: (1) if you specify the directory name in either alphanumeric or
 subdirectory format, the default is your UIC (unless you are privileged
 in which case the UIC defaults to the parent directory); (2) if you
 specify the directory in UIC format, the default is the specified UIC.

 Specifies protection for the directory. Specify ownership as SYSTEM,
 OWNER, GROUP, or WORLD and protection as R, W, E, or D. The default
 protection is the protection of the parent directory (the master
 directory for top-level directories) minus any delete access.

 Specifies the number of versions of any one file that can exist in the
 directory. If you go over the limit, the system deletes the lowest
 numbered version. A specification of 0 means no limit. A maximum limit
 of approximately 60 versions applies no matter the specification. The
 default is the limit for the parent directory.

 Requests that the directory file be placed on the specified relative
 volume number of a multi-volume set. By default, the file is placed
 arbitrarily within the multi-volume set.

Creates an empty data file, using the specifications in an FDL
(File Definition Language) file.

Format
 CREATE/FDL=fdl-file-spec [data-file-spec]

 Requires the Program Development Tools Option.

Additional information available:

ParametersQualifiers

fdl-file-spec
 Specification of the FDL file that is used to create the data file;
 the default file type is FDL.
data-file-spec
 Specification of the data file to be created; file name overrides
 the file name specified in the FDL file.

Additional information available:

/LOG

 /NOLOG (default)
 Displays the file specification of the created data file.

Creates a logical name table.

Format
 CREATE/NAME_TABLE table

Additional information available:

ParametersQualifiers

table
 A string of from 1 to 31 characters that identifies the logical name
 table. The string can include alphanumeric characters, the dollar
 sign, and the underscore.

Additional information available:

/ATTRIBUTES/EXECUTIVE_MODE/LOG/PARENT_TABLE
/PROTECTION/QUOTA/SUPERVISOR_MODE/USER_MODE

 Specifies attributes for the table. By default, no attributes are set.
 Possible keywords are:

 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+
 | CONFINE  | Does not copy the table name or the logical   |
 |          | names contained in the table into a spawned   |
 |          | subprocess; relevant only for process-private |
 |          | tables.                                       |
 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+
 | NO_ALIAS | Prohibits creation of table names with the    |
 |          | same name in an outer (less privileged) access|
 |          | mode in the same logical name table directory;|
 |          | deletes any previously created, identical     |
 |          | names in an outer (less privileged) mode in   |
 |          | the same logical name directory.              |
 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+
 | SUPERSEDE| If a name exists within the appropriate       |
 |          | directory at the indicated access mode, it is |
 |          | deleted, and a new table is created.          |
 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+

 /SUPERVISOR_MODE (default)
 /USER_MODE
 Requires SYSNAM privilege for /EXECUTIVE_MODE.
 Specifies the access mode of the table. If you specify executive mode
 without having SYSNAM privilege, a supervisor mode logical name table
 is created.

 /NOLOG
 Specifies whether or not an informational message is generated when
 the SUPERSEDE attribute was specified or when the table already exists
 but the SUPERSEDE attribute was not specified.

 Requires SYSPRV and ENABLE access to specify a shareable table.
 Specifies the name of the parent table, which must have the same
 access mode or an access mode inner to the access mode of table you
 are creating. Defaults to LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY. The parent table
 determines whether the table is private or shareable and where the
 quota of the new table comes from.

 Applies the specified protection to shareable name tables. The
 ownership categories are SYSTEM, OWNER, GROUP, WORLD; the access
 categories are R (read), W (write), E (enable), and D (delete). The
 default protection is (SYSTEM:RWED,OWNER:RWED,GROUP:,WORLD:)

 Specifies the size limit of the table. The size of each logical name
 entered in the new table is deducted from this size limit. The new
 table's quota is statically withdrawn from the parent table's quota
 holder. The parent table's quota holder is the first logical name
 table encountered when working upward in the table hierarchy that has
 an explicit quota and is therefore its own quota holder. If /QUOTA is
 not specified or the size limit is 0, the parent table's quota holder
 becomes the new table's quota holder and space is dynamically
 withdrawn from it whenever a logical name is entered in this new
 table.
