Note The AUTOCREATE keyword is obsolete and has been deprecated, since related definitions are now always created automatically.
The AUTOCREATE command automatically creates a definition behind the value that has been specified in a property, as soon as you click OK to close the containing dialog. If you do not use the AUTOCREATE keyword, then the value entered into a property will remain undefined after you click OK to close the containing dialog.
Example
DEFINITION "Physical Database"
{ ..
PROPERTY "Model"
{ KEY EDIT ONEOF "Project Data Model" AUTOCREATE RELATE BY "is keyed by" READONLY }
..}
In the example above, 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 automatically created in the encyclopedia.
