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.
