VMS Help RMS, $CREATE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Create service constructs a new file according to the
    attributes you specify in the FAB. If any XABs are chained to the
    FAB, then the characteristics described in the XABs are applied
    to the file. This service performs implicit Open and Display
    services.

    Format

      SYS$CREATE  fab [,[err] [,suc]]
