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]
