New Zip File

Creates a new empty zip file in the path that target specifies. The new file overwrites an existing file or produces a confirmation dialog based on the value of the confirm overwrite? control. Example

	target specifies the path to the new or existing zip file. The VI deletes and rewrites the file if it already exists. You cannot append data to a zip file.
	confirm overwrite? specifies to overwrite the existing zip file. The default is FALSE. If you set confirm overwrite? to TRUE, the VI prompts you to confirm deleting the existing zip file.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	zip file out returns the open zip file. zip file out is analogous to a refnum or task ID.
	cancelled returns TRUE only if a user cancels an overwrite confirmation dialog box.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
