NEWDIR
Examples
In the following two examples, a user creates a directory called DIR1. In the first example,
the full pathname of the directory is specified in all uppercase since HFS syntax is
case-sensitive. In the second example, the user enters the information in lower case using
the MPE syntax dir_name.groupname.acctname. (Any case-lower-, mixed-, or uppercase could
be used since the CI will automatically shift pathnames entered in MPE syntax to
uppercase.)
NEWDIR /MYACCT/MYGRP/DIR1
NEWDIR dir1.mygroup.myacct
The following example creates an HFS-named directory called john by specifying the full
pathname of the directory. Since the directory will reside in the MPE/iX account MYACCT,
and since HFS syntax is case-sensitive, the user enters "MYACCT" in uppercase.
NEWDIR /MYACCT/jones/cmdf/john
The following example creates an MPE-named directory called DIR1 in the current
working directory (CWD). Note that the dir_name is shifted to uppercase.
NEWDIR dir1
The following example creates an HFS-named directory called dir1 in the current
working directory (CWD). Note that in this example, the dir_name is not shifted to
uppercase.
NEWDIR ./dir1
The following example creates an HFS-named directory called dir2 by specifying POSIX
syntax:
NEWDIR ./dir2
The next example creates an MPE-named directory called A.group.logon_acct.
NEWDIR a.group
