X-no-Archive:yes
You can treat the directory name like a file (Hmmm... where have we heard
that before?), and test for existence. In fact, because I tested, I did not
use CONTINUE where one might otherwise have wanted to do so. IOW, I wanted
to just abort on unexpected errors. I used to archive ZIP files to groups of
the TLA for months, and within those, a two digit day number:

!   IF NOT ![FINFO("../!ZIPGROUP","EXISTS")]
!#This group should exist, but testing prevents errs
!      NEWGROUP !ZIPGROUP;HOMEVS=CGI;CAP=IA
!      NEWGROUP !ZIPGROUP;ONVS=CGI
!   ENDIF
!   IF NOT ![FINFO("../!ZIPGROUP/!ZIPDIR","EXISTS")]
!#This dir should NOT exist, but testing prevents errs
!      MKDIR ../!ZIPGROUP/!ZIPDIR
!   ENDIF
!   SHOWVAR ZIP@
!   CHDIR ../!ZIPGROUP/!ZIPDIR

I really should not have trusted the path for MKDIR.

Subject: MPE/posix question.


  I need to build one or more directories on the fly; is there a way to tell
mpe to build a posix directory if it doesn't exist?
