Subject:      Creating a folder in SAS program

Dear all,

I have found codes from previous SAS lists which creates a folder in SAS.
However, they do not work when I use a macro.

My aim is, that I would like to create a folder for each month that I run
this programme and for the output to go directly into the folder for that month.

The codes that I have found and tried are below, however when I introduce a
macro (which gives the month and year programme was run) then the folder
created is &date1 and not monthyear as it does in the program itself.

CODES - date1 is the macro for the day and month.


x 'md "C:\.....................\&Foldername" ';
%let FOLDERNAME=&date1;



x 'md "C:\.......................\&date1." ';

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

BW
