This Built-In Function is used to create a physical file containing all Promptable File Library Variables extracted from the importing package in a runtime environment. The generated file can be used to update the variables' values before calling the IMPORT_OBJECTS Built-In Function.
The generated file is only valid to the IMPORT_OBJECTS Built-In Function when the CREATE_PROMPT_FILE and IMPORT_OBJECTS are in the same session.
