PATCHHELP.HLB  —  CREATE
 Use CREATE to create a command procedure that contains all  PATCH
 commands successfully executed after the CREATE command.

 When  you  use  CREATE  to  create  a  command  procedure,  PATCH
 automatically   inserts,  as  the  first  entry  in  the  command
 procedure, the name of the image file that will  incorporate  the
 patches.   All  symbolic  names are converted to absolute values,
 and all command names  and  qualifiers  are  truncated  to  their
 shorthand notation.

 You can issue only one CREATE  command  per  PATCH  session.   To
 create  another command procedure, close the input image file and
 then reopen it.

 To process the patches contained in the command procedure,  issue
 the following DCL command:

 	$ PATCH @file-spec

 In  the  above  command  line,  the  file-spec   represents   the
 specification of the command procedure containing the patches.

 Format:

      CREATE   [file-spec]

1  –  Parameters

 file-spec
      Represents the file specification of the command procedure.   The
      syntax is as follows:

           device:[directory]filename.filetype;version

      You can omit all or some of the fields in the  command  procedure
      file  specification.   PATCH uses the default values listed below
      for omitted fields.
