Hi David,

Please notice that PowerServer is using the same runtime as native PowerBuilder except for some database-related operations (e.g.: retrieve/update...). The CreateDirectory function is the same as the native PowerBuilder.

If you want to create a multi-folder path like C:\user1\temp\logfiles, you need to make sure "C:\user1" and "C:\user1\temp\" exist. Otherwise, you need to create these folders first. You can test the CreateDirectory function in the native PowerBuilder app.

Alternatively, you can extend a function of_createdirectorytree if not such a function in your current framework. E.g.:

Long ll_pos
Long ll_start = 1
String ls_tmp

If Right(as_directorytree, 1) <> "\" Then as_directorytree = as_directorytree + "\"

ll_pos = Pos( as_directorytree, "\", ll_start)
Do While ll_pos > 0
	ls_tmp = Trim(Left( as_directorytree, ll_pos - 1))
	If Len(ls_tmp) = 0 Then Return -1
	
	If DirectoryExists( ls_tmp ) = False Then
		If Createdirectory( ls_tmp ) = -1 Then Return -1
	End If
	
	ll_start = ll_pos + 1
	ll_pos = Pos( as_directorytree, "\", ll_start)
Loop

Hi, David -

I suggest you try it. It should take you no more than a minute to temporarily add a command button to a window to test it.

Best regards, John
