Creating Unix Directory using COBOL in Unix 0n Z/OS

Postby Heisenberg » Mon Jun 26, 2023 4:36 pm

Hello All,

Is there a way to create Unix Directory / Sub directory in Unix on Z/OS using a COBOL program?
I am able to allocate files using BPXWDYN, but I think it cannot be used to create directory.

Thanks in advance

Prompting for responses in the way you did will NOT get you any faster or better responses. In fact, people that might have responded are more likely to NOT respond. Responses on this -- or any -- forum are predicated on people having the knowledge, time, and interest in responding. It is not unusual for days or weeks to pass between the time a question is posed and when it is answered.

The lack of responses may indicate nobody has any information about what you want, so the answer most likely will be that what you want to do may not be possible. You may want to experiment with BPXWDYN or bpxwunix to see if you can accomplish your goal.
