CREATE 

       {GLOBAL     }
CREATE {APPLICATION} [DAYS=maxdays]
       {PROCESS    } [SIZE=maxMB  ]
       {DISC       }
The CREATE command produces the four Performance Collection Software raw
log files--LOGGLOB, LOGAPPL, LOGPROC, LOGDISC--before starting SCOPE(XL)
for the first time.  These log files must not already exist or any
attempt to create them will fail.

You can use CREATE to produce a log file with a specified maximum size.
If SCOPE(XL) is initiated with a logging type enabled and a log file does
not exist, one is created in the default size.  You can use the UTILITY
CREATE command to create log files before running SCOPE(XL).

The log type to be created is a required parameter for batch mode
execution.  If CREATE is being executed interactively, and this parameter
is defaulted, you are prompted as to whether you wish to create each type
of log file in turn.

The maximum file size can be specified using the DAYS (in days) or
SIZE (in megabytes) parameter.  If days are specified, a default
megabytes-per-day value is used based on the type of the log file being
created.  If DAYS and SIZE are both entered, SIZE is used.

The default maximum size is 20 megabytes for global, application, and
process log files and 1 megabyte for disc log files.


Caution  Log files created by UTILITY have data structures specific to
         the type of system on which UTILITY is run (MPE V versus
         MPE/iX). You should not create log files on one type of system
         for use on another type of system.

         The LOGINDX file is created on MPE/iX systems whenever the first
         log file of any type is created.  (The LOGINDX file is not used
         on MPE V.)

         Log files created by UTILITY are not initialized.  SCOPE(XL)
         initializes them when it is first run.


Sample CREATE Task 

The following example shows how to create the four Performance Collection
Software raw log files.

You must log on to the group where the log files will reside. 

The maximum size of each file is specified in order to override the
defaults used by SCOPE(XL).

     :HELLO SCOPE.SYS,SCOPE
     :RUN UTILITY
     CREATE GLOBAL DAYS=120
     CREATE APPLICATION SIZE=10
     CREATE PROCESS SIZE=35
     CREATE DISC DAYS=365

Notice that you can specify the maximum size of the raw log file in terms
of either days (DAYS) or megabytes (SIZE).
