built new folder

[zhangxiaodaii]

why sometimes can we ues SAS to built new folder in the same level of folder even in the same folder ,but sometimes we cannot?

Do you use the dcreate() function, or an external command?

If the latter, use the filename pipe method to reveal what the operating system does:

filename oscmd pipe "mkdir ......  2>&1";

data _null_;
infile oscmd;
input;
put _infile_;
run;

Either way, please post the log, using the {i} button.
