Comments
MX_MKDIR will be invoked automatically if this function is requested under Windows. Therefore, it may be best to always use MX_MKPATH in your application and let A-Shell decide when to convert it to MX_MKDIR. The exception would be if your application which is running on a server (with ATE clients) wants to explicitly create a directory on the ATE client. In this case, you must use MX_MKDIR and set the remoteflag parameter to "R."
Note that this function supports embedded environment variables, e.g.:
xcall MIAMEX,MX_MKPATH,"%MIAME%\901902",STATUS
In general this function will not succeed if the parent directory doesn't already exist.
