RE: mkdir() API and IFS authorities

Kevin/Scott and others,

Kevin--Yes that's what we're talking about.

Thanks to all who responded.

The issue came down to the requirement for the Mode to be passed by value.
The requirements for the system where this is being run are that this
routine be written in COBOL. (Hence, I haven't posted the sample code as
most on this list wouldn't follow it.)

I added the "BY VALUE" phrase for Mode and now I'm getting the expected
results. I found this before IBM got back to me on the Case (formerly known
as PMR) by searching through previous code working in the IFS.

Thanks for the responses to Kevin and all who responded.

Actually your copybook does use the options(*string), but I just stripped

that

code out off a fix format program and it compiled and worked, so didn't
bother fixing it up. I'm not having the issue. My example is how it is

working

for me, which is the way I expect it to, and the way it is documented to

work.

It's not working for Michael, and I think he is going to open up a PMR. My
example was just to make sure Michael and I were talking apples to apples.

Kevin,

Thanks for the example. From what you've posted there, you are doing

this:

Mode = S_Ixusr // My user profile - *X only
+ S_Iroth + S_Iwoth; // Other (*PUBLIC) *RW Path =
'/kevin/mkdirtest/newfolder' + x'00'; Mkdir(%Addr(Path):Mode);

This code looks like it was written for V3R2 with the manual x'00' and
%addr(). It'd be nice to modernize that a bit to use options(*string),

but the

old way still works.

As the comments say, you're asking for your user profile to have *X and

the

public to have *RW. in your screenshot that follows the code you show

this:

*PUBLIC *RW
KEVIN *X

As far as I can tell, this is exactly what was expected. Can you
explain what the trouble is?
