- directory-name
-
is a character constant, variable, or expression that specifies
the name of the directory to create. This value cannot include a pathname.
- parent-directory
-
is a character constant, variable, or expression that contains
the complete pathname of the directory in which to create the new directory.
If you do not supply a value for parent-directory,

in your operating environment. If the directory cannot be created, then DCREATE
returns an empty string.
