| This also includes a DCL subroutine, labelled ''CreDir'' (for "create directory") at the end of this script, to test for a user's home directory subdirectory, conditionally creating it plus a suitable logical name if it doesn't already exist. | This also includes a DCL subroutine, labelled ''CreDir'' (for "create directory") at the end of this script, to test for a user's home directory subdirectory, conditionally creating it plus a suitable logical name if it doesn't already exist. Here, two subdirectories are tested and created, one for ''SYS$SCRATCH'' (redirected from the user's home directory), and a ''LOGS'' subdirectory for batch log-files. |
