C$MAKEDIR Routine

C$MAKEDIR creates a new directory. C$MAKEDIR can make a directory only one level lower than an existing directory and cannot create more than one level at a time.

Usage

CALL "C$MAKEDIR" USING DIR-NAME GIVING STATUS-CODE

Parameters

DIR-NAME PIC X(n)

Contains the name of the directory to be created. This should be either a full path name or a name relative to the current directory. You may use remote name syntax in combination with AcuServer to create a directory on a remote machine.

STATUS-CODE Numeric data item.

Receives the return status of the call to create a directory. A return status of zero indicates that the directory was successfully created; a status of one ("1") indicates otherwise.

Note: The behavior of this library routine is affected by the setting of the FILENAME_SPACES configuration variable that may or may not allow spaces in a file name. See the documentation on FILENAME_SPACES in Appendix H, "Configuration File Entries", for information about the terminating character for path names.
