To Create a System Catalog using xdbcutil

Change to the directory where you want your system catalog installed.
Enter one of the following commands:
```
xdbcutil -c
```
f you plan to grant database and table privileges to individual users, use the -pa option as well to create a user/group catalog and an object permissions catalog:
```
xdbcutil -c -pa
```
Because the above command will create all of the system catalog files in the current directory, you may want to use this command instead:

On Windows:
```
xdbcutil -c -pa -d  %GENESIS_HOME%/syscat
```
On UNIX:
```
xdbcutil -c -pa -d  $GENESIS_HOME/syscat
```
Note: If you use the -d option to specify a catalog path, be sure to amend your COBOL configuration file to point to your system catalog. Do this using the DICTSOURCE variable
