Portability Function: Creates a new directory with a specified name.

The result type is LOGICAL(4). The result is .TRUE. if successful; otherwise, .FALSE..

MAKEDIRQQ can create only one directory at a time. You cannot create a new directory and a subdirectory below it in a single command. MAKEDIRQQ does not translate path delimiters. You can use either slash (/) or backslash (\) as valid delimiters.

If an error occurs, call GETLASTERRORQQ to retrieve the error message. Possible errors include:

Example

USE IFPORT
LOGICAL(4) result
result = MAKEDIRQQ('mynewdir')
IF (result) THEN
   WRITE (*,*) 'New subdirectory successfully created'
ELSE
   WRITE (*,*) 'Failed to create subdirectory'
END IF
END
