Summary
The FILE_CREATELIST_ 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, FILE_CREATELIST_ returns the file
name in a form suitable for passing to the FILE_OPEN_ procedure.
FILE_CREATELIST_ allows you to specify certain file characteristics, such as alternate
keys and partition information, that cannot be specified through the FILE_CREATE_
procedure.
