The CREATE-FILE processor is used to create a file. It is typically used to create both the dictionary and the data file at the same time. The CREATE-FILE processor requires the user to name the file and allocate physical disk space for it. The amount of allocated space is specified as the file’s modulo and is based on an estimate of the size and expected growth of the database. The modulo also defines how data is stored in that space.
