Actually there is no requirement to cd to the directory in order to create a file there. Simply edit path/to/directory/newfile (or touch, or cat, or redirect to that file).
The question is slightly weird, as if creating a file would require something special. Provided you have write access to the directory in question, there are few things which are more trivial.

create_replica
create replica(1m) create replica(1m)
NAME
create replica - Creates a replica of an existing directory in the specified clearinghouse
SYNOPSIS
cdscp create replica directory-name clearinghouse clearinghouse-name
ARGUMENTS
The full name of the directory. The full name of the clearinghouse in which you want to create the replica.
DESCRIPTION
The create replica command creates a replica of an existing directory in the specified clearinghouse.
Privilege Required
You must have administer permission to the directory you intend to replicate and write permission to the clearinghouse that stores the new
replica. The server principal needs read, write, and administer permission to the directory you intend to replicate.
NOTES
This command is usually executed only by the network configuration procedure. To ensure that all replicas are consistent, perform an imme-
diate skulk of the parent directory after issuing this command.
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLE
The following command creates a replica of the /.:/mfg directory in the clearinghouse /.:/Paris_CH. cdscp> create replica /.:/mfg clear-
inghouse /.:/Paris1_CH
