You can do a full-path CREATE.FILE with Unidata, but not with Universe. I
have been hoping that might make it to the "compatibility list".
I didn't know you could do a UNIX command and get a uv-typed (perhaps
hashed) file -- as Martin's suggestion. What I do is create it locally by
EXECUTING CREATE.FILE, then EXECUTE a UNIX 'mv' to push it to the correct
location and then write down the Fpointer.

Subject: [U2] [uv]CREATE.FILE syntax for remote directories
Hi all,
Question : Is there a way to specify a full path+filename instead a
filename in the CREATE.FILE command ?
To have files created into other directory like the current.
Thanks for any suggestions.

No but the underlying operating system level program that does the
CREATE.FILE can do this.
/usr/uv/bin/mkdbfile pathname type modulo separation
(with the appropriate path on the mkdbfile program)
It is relatively easy to wrap a bit of Basic around this and build your own
CREATE.PATH verb.
