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? Paxton </QUOTE> —- === At 08 APR 2009 07:55AM Bob Orsini wrote: === <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> —- === At 08 APR 2009 09:39AM Paxton Scott wrote: === <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? Paxton </QUOTE> —- === At 08 APR 2009 02:41PM Bob Orsini wrote: === <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> —- === At 08 APR 2009 03:28PM Paxton Scott wrote: === <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. Paxton </QUOTE> View this thread on the Works forum...
