DMU.HLB  —  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

1  –  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.

3  –  qualifiers

3.1    /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.

3.2    /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.

3.3    /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.

3.4    /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.
