CREATE | 
Use this call to create a message stub for the batch
message and reserve a batch message id. If you are creating a batch of HL7
messages (more than one), your application processing routine should:
1. Call INIT^HLFNC2 to initialize variables.
2. Call CREATE^HLTF to create a message stub for the batch message.
3. Create and store each message that will be in the batch (requires
calls to INIT^HLFNC2 and MSH^HLFNC2).
4. Transmit the completed batch message using GENERATE^HLMA.
If you are sending only one HL7 message (i.e., you're not sending a batch
message), don't call this entry point. For single messages, VISTA HL7 creates
the MSH segment for you.
Usage CREATE^HLTF(.HLMID,.MTIEN,.HLDT,.HLDT1)
