PURPOSE: The CREATE DBL command establishes and declares a Data Base Library, which is the primary organizational and control item of an ACCENT R application. See Chapter 3 for a full description of Data Base Libraries.
|
CREATE DBL name |
name is the user-assigned name of the Data Base Library established with this command. For the syntax of DBL names, see Chapter 2. The default extension is .DBL. |
|
When a DBL is created, it becomes the current DBL. The USE DBL command is not required. |
NOTES: A DBL must not be renamed or changed outside of the ACCENT R system, for it would then be unrecognizable by ACCENT R. Do not name the DBL the same name as a logical you have defined.
*CREATE DBL PROD
This creates a system file named PROD.DBL and writes a header block in it, which identifies it as an ACCENT R DBL.
