Summary
The CREATE procedure is used to define a new structured or unstructured disk file.
The file can be temporary (and therefore automatically deleted when closed) or
permanent. When a temporary file is created, CREATE returns its file name in a form
suitable for passing to the OPEN procedure.
Syntax for C Programmers
This procedure does not have a C syntax, because it is superseded and should not be
used for new development. This procedure is supported only for compatibility with
previous software.
Syntax for TAL Programmers
Note. This procedure is supported for compatibility with previous software and should not be
used for new development.
