/CREATE

 /CREATE    (default)
 /NOCREATE

 Determines whether a buffer is created when the input file is not
 found.  Processing this qualifier depends on the TPU application
 you are using.

 For EVE, the default is /CREATE.  If any input file specified on the
 command line does not exist, EVE creates a buffer using the file name
 and file type as the buffer name; or if you do not specify an input
 file, EVE creates an empty buffer named MAIN.

 Use /NOCREATE to edit only existing files.  Thus, if none of the
 input files are found, the editing session is aborted returning you
 to the DCL level, as in the following example:

    $ EDIT/TPU old.dat,new.dat /NOCREATE
    Input file or files do not exist: OLD.DAT,NEW.DAT
    $
