You must create an empty OpenVMS directory (by using the DCL CREATE/DIRECTORY command), or direct CMS to create a directory, to contain the CMS library to be created. You then create the library in that directory by following these steps: 1. Pull down the File menu. 2. Choose the New menu item. This invokes the New submenu. 3. Choose the Library... item from the submenu. The New Library dialog box appears, allowing you to specify the directory and options for the newly-created library. NOTE: Once you create a library, you must access the library exclusively with CMS commands. If a library is accessed by means other than CMS, unrecoverable library corruption may result.
