1 CREATE

 Use  the  CREATE  command  to  create  dictionary   directories   and
 subdictionaries.

 You can also create access control lists and history  lists  for  the
 new  directories  and  subdictionaries.   If  any  ancestors  of  the
 directory or subdictionary to  be  created  do  not  exist,  the  CDD
 creates them automatically.

 Command Syntax:

 CREATE [qualifiers] path-name
2 parameters

 path-name

 Specifies the name and ancestry of the directory or subdictionary you
 are creating.  You cannot use any wildcards in the path name.  If you
 are using  a  terminal  of  the  VT200  family,  you  can  use  8-bit
 characters in path names.

 Type "HELP specify path-name" for further information.

2 privileges

  o  You need PASS_THRU and EXTEND  at  the  parent  of  a  dictionary
     directory to be created.

  o  You need PASS_THRU and FORWARD at the parent of  a  subdictionary
     to be created.

  o  You need PASS_THRU and EXTEND at  the  parent  of  any  ancestors
     implicitly created for a new subdictionary or directory.

2 qualifiers
/ACL

 Syntax:

     /[NO]ACL

 Use /ACL to create a directory  or  subdictionary  with  the  default
 access  control  list.   /ACL is the default.  Use /NOACL to create a
 directory or subdictionary with no access control list.

/AUDIT

 Syntax:

 /AUDIT [= (quoted-string [, quoted-string]...)]
 /AUDIT=file-specification
 /NOAUDIT

 Use /AUDIT to create a history list entry auditing the creation of  a
 dictionary directory or subdictionary.

 You can include explanatory text in history list entries in two ways:

  o  By including quoted  strings.   Enclose  each  quoted  string  in
     double  quotation  marks,  and  enclose  the series of strings in
     parentheses.  The parentheses are optional if  you  specify  only
     one quoted string.

  o  By specifying a file whose contents are to  be  included  in  the
     history  list  entry.   The  file specification is a standard VMS
     file specification, and the default file type is .DAT.   You  can
     include  no  more  than 64 input strings in a history list entry.
     DMU ignores any excess.

 With /NOAUDIT, no history list entries are created.  The  default  is
 /NOAUDIT.

/HISTORY

 Syntax:

     /[NO]HISTORY

 Use  /HISTORY  to  facilitate  the  creation  of  history  lists  for
 dictionary  directories  and  subdictionaries  as  you  create  them.
 /HISTORY is the default.   Use  /NOHISTORY  to  create  a  dictionary
 directory  or  subdictionary  with  no  history  list.   If  you  use
 /NOHISTORY, you can still create history list entries later,  but  it
 will take slightly longer.

/SUBDICTIONARY

 Syntax:

     /SUBDICTIONARY = file-specification
     /NOSUBDICTIONARY

 Use /SUBDICTIONARY to create a  subdictionary.   Subdictionary  files
 allow  you  to  store portions of the dictionary on different devices
 and to augment CDD protection with VMS file security mechanisms.  The
 file specification is a standard VMS file specification, and you must
 include device and directory names for this file.  The  default  file
 name  is  CDD.DIC.   You can use a system logical name as any part of
 the subdictionary file specification.  You  cannot  use  a  group  or
 process logical name.

 Use /NOSUBDICTIONARY to create a dictionary  directory  in  the  main
 dictionary file.  /NOSUBDICTIONARY is the default.
