Re:

> We are facing a problem while executing CREATE intrinsic.

First, you want to use CREATEPROCESS, not CREATE.
IIRC, there are some cases where CREATE will abort your process,
but CREATEPROCESS won't.

Also, CREATEPROCESS (a) provides more capability/control,
and (b) provides better error information.

ccL means "failed to create"

However, when that happens, CREATE should return a value of 0
in the pin parameter.

nope.


Suggestion:

   1) post the code around the CREATE call, including the variable
      declaration for the parameters you pass to CREATE.

   2) :run <programname> ; DEBUG

      = CREATE

      c

The second step will tell us if you're calling the real CREATE
intrinsic or a "cover function".  If it's the real intrinsic,
you'll see something like "SYS $a.22cb18" for the "= CREATE".
(Note: uppercase matters here)
