CREATE SYSTEM Command

The CREATE command or equivalent CREATE prompter creates the first version of a system definition. The sole function of the CREATE SYSTEM command or prompter is to present a blank system definition fill‑in. This fill‑in establishes the system name, provides identification information about the system, and provides the file names where the system libraries are stored. Once the system definition fill‑in is presented and you enter a system name, that system becomes the current system definition.

A newly created system definition is assigned a version of 1 and is placed in test status. You can edit the new system definition at any subsequent session as long as it remains in test status. Once marked to production status, you cannot modify it. For additional information, see the Administration Guide.

To access the CREATE prompter, select Option 2 on the System Maintenance Menu.

This command has the following format:

CREATE [SYSTEM {name}]
