You're close. Just add either command.com /C or cmd.exe depending on whether your system is Windows or NT. Recognize that the following command will result in c:\temp\custom~1, since you will be working through DOS and hence limited to 8.3
let $Call_Str = 'command.com /C mkdir c:\temp\custom_letters'

Subject: Call System Question
I am trying to figure out the syntax that will allow me to create a file
folder 'c:\temp\custom_letters' using the CALL SYSTEM command. My code looks
like:
let $Call_Str = 'mkdir c:\temp\custom_letters'
call system using $Call_Str #Return_Value
'c:\temp\' already exists. I am trying to create a sub-directory to place
the output files.
Thanks.
Stephen Ratliff
