#CREATE( file )
| #CREATE | Creates a disk file to receive generated source code. |
| file | A string constant, template symbol, or expression containing a DOS file specification. This may be a fully qualified DOS pathname. |
The #CREATE statement creates a disk file to receive the source code generated by #GENERATE. If the file does not exist, it is created. If the file already exists, it is opened and emptied (truncated to zero length). If the file is already open, a source generation error is produced.
The file is automatically selected as the active source output destination. Any file that is created must be closed with a #CLOSE statement.
Example:
#SET(%NewProgramFile,(%Application & '.$$$')) #!Temp new program filename
#CREATE(%NewProgramFile) #!Create new program file
#GENERATE(%Program) #!Generate main program header
