The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
All the 'nix's I'm aware of, with the exception of AIX, have an
application named "man" which prints manual pages to the terminal. You
type "man mkdir" and it shows you the manual page for the mkdir
application.
As Dennis specifically refers to the "man page", he is obviously talking
about some other system.

Hello,
So that you know, the man page on mkdir states, about the -p switch:
"No error if existing, make parent directories as needed." But I was
wrong to post without testing.
Hmmm... I'm looking at the QShell manual, and I see no mention of
whether there'd be an error or not...
Here's the v5r4 manual:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/rzahz/mkdir.
htm
Here's the 6.1 manual:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/topic/rzahz/rzah
zmkdir.htm
My only guess is that you're looking in a non-QShell manual (maybe the
AIX/PASE one?) In that case, though, you will find discrepancies from
time to time...
