Marc, Your create statement assumes that there is already a dictionary section. Are you wanting to create a new data section underneath and existing file or a new file with both dictionary and data sections. Also, I agree with Peter. Get rid of the double-quotes. If the latter then try: EXECUTE \CREATE-FILE DATA \:FILENAME:\1 11\
