Re: MKDIR() for IFS - with inherit authorization list object authority from parent directory
I think ujes is referring to the MKDIR CL command (which is an alias for the CRTDIR CL command).
It behaves differently than the mkdir() API. The API is much lower-level, it doesn't do as much for you. If you want to achieve the same thing, you'd have to write a routine that retrieves the parent directory's auth list, permissions, etc, and set them on the child directory you've just created.
There's also a 'mkdir' command in QShell, and another one in PASE. These work similarly to the API.
Indeed, using the term 'mkdir' is ambiguous -- the system comes with (at least) 4 different tools named MKDIR.
