Subject:      Using %SYSEXEC
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi, I have to build a directory on a UNIX system directly from a SAS program. I
use %SYSEXEC to do that. The problem is that I can't build more than one level
at a time. I tried this but it didn't work:


%macro x;
 %sysexec mkdir /don/Rsi/psn/dostie/lib1;
 %sysexec mkdir /don/Rsi/psn/dostie/lib1/lib2;
%mend x;
%x;

The first %SYSEXEC works but not the second. Why??

Thanks
