This seems to be a definate lack to me. I can allocate / read / write / delete individual UNIX files using JCL with the PATH= parameter. But there is no way to create any required subdirectories "on the fly" using JCL. The closest I can come is to run a BPXBATCH or IKJEFT01 step to do a mkdir before running the step which requires the new subdirectory.
Does this bug anybody else?
Not me, until you raised the issue; not it seems like a glaring shortsight.
Or am I the only weirdo around?
Well, you're definitely not the only one :-)
