Create a New Directory

Morining all,

I have a problem, I need my program to make a directory for file processing. The problem is I cannot make the directory beneath the current working dir. because it is "readonly". I need to tell my program to back up one directory to create the "temp" dir.

This is what the network file structure looks like.

ex. M:\MECH\1224\somedir\APPROVED\{FILESTR}

I need to tell the program to backup to the previous directory to create a "temp" dir.

ex. M:\MECH\1224\somedir\TEMP\{FILESTR}

The dir. "somedir" could be any dir. The only thing definite is that the files are located in an "approved" dir.

Would the s_char command work for this? If so how do I use it, or is there another way?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
