VMS Help CONVERT, file, Qualifiers, /CREATE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Determines whether the Convert utility creates a file or uses an
    existing file for output.

    Format

      /CREATE  (DEFAULT)

      /NOCREATE

    The /CREATE qualifier causes the Convert utility to create an
    output file instead of using an existing file for output.

    If the output file is to have different characteristics from the
    input file, you must also specify the /FDL qualifier.
