Open/Create/Replace File Function - create file's path if it does not exist

Status: New

The Open/Create/Replace File Function with the Create operation does not create the file if the specified path leading to that file does not already exist.  One has to use the separate Check if File or Folder Exists vi followed by the separate Create Function to first create the folder if it is found to not already exist and then actually Create the file with Open/Create/Replace File.  It would be useful to not have to perform the already exists operation and simply provide the capability (perhaps as an input boolean option) to create the entire file's folder path if it does not already exist when using the Open/Create/Replace File Function to create a file.

The documentation suggestion is good. I filed CAR 467010 to add that.
