Reporting Facility Commands › CREATE Command

CREATE Command

(Area 5)

The CREATE command is valid only when processing in Library Maintenance mode. Use the CREATE command to preformat the library prior to first-time use of the Reporting Facility call library.

Invoke this command after installation of the Reporting Facility and never use it again unless the entire library file is to be re-created.

The format of the CREATE command is as follows:

►►─ CREATE ─ password ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────►◄

password

Specifies the password, selected at product modification time, that identifies an authorized person to perform the CREATE function. It can be an alphanumeric string, not enclosed in apostrophes, up to eight characters in length.

Note the following:

• Use of this command destroys any existing entries in the Reporting Facility call library.
• The CREATE command must immediately follow the LIBRARY command. The Reporting Facility allows only one CREATE command per run.
• If you move the Reporting Facility library file from one physical location or device to another, you must first preformat the new location using the CREATE command. Then, key and reload the old library data into the new library using standard library maintenance procedures.
