VMS Help  —  CREATE  file  Qualifiers

1    /LOG

       /LOG
       /NOLOG (default)

    Displays the file specification of each new file created as the
    command executes.

2    /OWNER_UIC

       /OWNER_UIC=uic

    Requires SYSPRV (system privilege) privilege to specify a user
    identification code (UIC) other than your own.

    Specifies the UIC to be associated with the file being created.
    Specify the UIC by using standard UIC format as described in the
    OpenVMS User's Manual.

3    /PROTECTION

       /PROTECTION=(ownership[:access][,...])

    Specifies protection for the file.

    o  Specify the ownership parameter as system (S),  owner (O),
       group (G),  or world (W).

    o  Specify the access parameter as read (R),  write (W), execute
       (E),  or delete (D).

    If you do not specify a value for each access category, or if you
    omit the /PROTECTION qualifier, the CREATE command applies the
    following protection for each unspecified category:

    File
    Already
    Exists?    Protection Applied

    Yes        Protection of the existing file
    No         Current default protection

                                   NOTE

       If you attempt to create a file with no access, the
       file is created with the system default RMS protection
       values. To create a file with no access, use the SET
       SECURITY/PROTECTION command.

    For more information on specifying protection codes, see the VSI
    OpenVMS Guide to System Security.

4    /SYMLINK

       /SYMLINK="text"

    Creates a symbolic link containing the specified text without
    the enclosing quotation marks. If the created symbolic link is
    subsequently encountered during any file-name processing, the
    contents of the symbolic link are read and treated as a POSIX
    pathname specification. No previous version of the symbolic link
    can exist.

    If the path is absolute (that is, it starts with a slash
    character), RMS attempts to translate its first field as a
    logical name.

5    /VOLUME

       /VOLUME=n

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