==== Make Directory (OpenInsight 32-Bit) ====

Greetings!



I want to create a subdirectory on a network drive from an OI program.

This works:

from commnad box, run a bat file with this in it

mkdir I:\1test\100

Pause



The directory on the I drive is created.



This does not:

In OI subroutine:

errorFlag=0



call mkDir("i:\1test\111",errorFlag)



If errorFlag Then

// failed

debug

end



fails.

How do I get OI to create a sub directory on a network drive?

Are their likely to be different permission issues between the command prompt/bat file the Oinsight subroutine?  If so How do I find and correct?

<QUOTE>Paxton, the issue is with the OI mkdir function. It will not create a subdirectory unless the main directory exists.

Try this:



DECLARE FUNCTION UTILITY

 

CALL MKDIR('J:\DIRA',ERR)

CALL MKDIR('J:\DIRA\DIRB',ERR2)

<QUOTE>Bob,



Thanks for the response, but the 'first' directory does exist.



I have tried "Utility" also.  This is to a network (mapped) drive.



Want to create a folder on a network drive. A bat file will do it, but I want to do it from OI program.

Any more ideas to help me along?

<QUOTE>I tried this on my network and did not have an issue. What happens if you try and create a new first path that does not exists.

<QUOTE>Bob,



Here is my little test:

compile Subroutine test_mkdir(alkey)

Declare Function Seqkey, Utility, msg

errorFlag=0

dir=i:\2newdir"

mkdirU=Utility("MAKEDIR",dir)

dir=i:\2newdir1"

call mkDir("i:\0temp\111",errorFlag)



If errorFlag Then

	sta=Msg("","mkDir Whoops, try again.",'','','')

End Else

	sta=Msg("","mkDir success",'','','')

End



If mkdirU then

	sta=Msg("","Utility success",'','','')

End Else

	sta=Msg("","Utility Whoops! try again.",'','','')

End



Return		



Utility Works!, so I am happy.

but mkDir did not.

Thanks, I was sure I tried Utility first on this progect and it did not work.
