The AUTOCREATE keyword is obsolete and has been deprecated, because related definitions are now created automatically.
The AUTOCREATE command creates a definition behind the value that has been specified in a property, when you click OK to close the containing dialog. If you do not use the AUTOCREATE keyword, the value entered into a property is undefined after you click OK to close the containing dialog.
Example
In the following example, the definition dialog of a Physical Database definition contains a property called “Project Data Model”. If you put a value in this field (for example, “Reservations”), and then click OK to close the Physical Database definition dialog, the “Reservations” Project Data Model definition is created in the encyclopedia.
