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.

-R[EGION]=region-name

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.

CREATE -region=REG1 creates the database file specified by the Global Directory (named by the GT.M Global Directory environment variable) for region REG1.
