When the DLHFSDIRCREATE system option is in effect, and the UFS directory specified on a LIBNAME statement or function does not exist, SAS creates the directory.

SAS displays a dialog box that prompts you to create the directory under the following conditions:

When the NODLHFSDIRCREATE system option is in effect

and SAS is running in an interactive environment
and the system option FILEPROMPT is in effect
and the NOPROMPT LIBNAME option is not specified
and you specify a UFS directory that does not exist on a LIBNAME statement or function

When a directory is created, a note is sent to the log.
