Examples

   1.$ CREATE MEET.TXT
     John, Residents in the apartment complex will hold their annual
     meeting this evening.  We hope to see you there, Regards, Elwood
<Ctrl/Z>

     The CREATE command in this example creates a text file named
     MEET.TXT in your default directory. The text file MEET.TXT
     contains the lines that follow until the Ctrl/Z.

   2.$ CREATE A.DAT, B.DAT
     Input line one for A.DAT...
     Input line two for A.DAT...
        .
        .
        .

<Ctrl/Z>

     Input line one for B.DAT...
     Input line two for B.DAT...
        .
        .
        .

<Ctrl/Z>

     $

     After you enter the CREATE command from the terminal, the
     system reads input lines into the sequential file A.DAT until
     Ctrl/Z terminates the first input. The next set of input data
     is placed in the second file, B.DAT. Again, Ctrl/Z terminates
     the input.

   3.$ FILE = F$SEARCH("MEET.TXT")
     $ IF FILE .EQS. ""
     $ THEN CREATE MEET.TXT
       John, Residents in the apartment complex will hold their annual
       meeting this evening.  We hope to see you there, Regards, Elwood
     $ ELSE TYPE MEET.TXT
     $ ENDIF
     $ EXIT

     In this example, the command procedure searches the default
     disk and directory for the file MEET.TXT. If the command
     procedure determines that the file does not exist, it creates a
     file named MEET.TXT using the CREATE command.

   4.$ SET DEFAULT DKA500:[TEST]
     $ SET PROCESS /CASE=CASE_LOOKUP=SENSITIVE /PARSE_STYLE=EXTENDED
     $ CREATE COEfile.txt
<Ctrl/Z>

     $ CREATE COEFILE.TXT
<Ctrl/Z>

     $ CREATE CoEfIlE.txt
<Ctrl/Z>

     $ DIRECTORY

     Directory DKA500:[TEST]

     CoEfIlE.txt;1
     COEFILE.TXT;1
     COEfile.txt;1


     In this example, DKA500 is an ODS-5 disk. If your process is
     set to CASE_LOOKUP=SENSITIVE and you create more than one
     file with the same name differing only in case, DCL treats
     subsequent files as new files and lists them as such.
