CREATE creates and initializes database files using the information in a Global Directory file.

Use the MUPIP CREATE command to create new database files. If a file already exists for any segment, CREATE takes no action for that segment.

The format of the CREATE command is:

CR[EATE] [/qualifier]

The single optional /REGION qualifier specifies a region for which to create a database file.

	Note
	To access a large database, a process may need a higher OpenVMS BYTLM. If you exceed a quota, contact your system manager.

/R[EGION]=region-name

CREATE /region=reg1 accepts non-alphabetic characters for region names.

Specifies a single region for creation of a database file. By default, the CREATE command creates database files for all regions in the current Global Directory that do not have files.
