(Type: Boolean, Default: FALSE)

<$.NEW option>

── $.NEW ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

If $.NEW is TRUE and the PATCH utility finds no fatal errors, the PATCH file is merged with the SOURCE or TAPE file to create the NEWSOURCE or NEWTAPE file. See “Files Used by the PATCH Utility” for information on selection of SOURCE or TAPE. The NEWTAPE file contains no $ records; even $ records passed through as $& records are not included. The blocking factors of the NEWTAPE file are the same as those that a compiler-created NEWTAPE would have.
