Creating Additional Directories

z/OS DFSMS Using Data Sets
SC23-6855-00

After you allocate an HFS data set for the root file system, you can log on as a TSO/E user and define directories and subdirectories in the root file system by using the MKDIR command. For example, to create the xpm17u01 directory using JCL, enter the following command:
		MKDIR	'/sj/sjpl/xsam/xpm17u01'

These directories can be used as mount points for additional mountable file systems. You can also use an IBM-supplied program that creates directories and device files. Users or application programs can then add files to those additional file systems.

Any user with write access authority to a directory can create subdirectories in that directory using the MKDIR command. Within the root directory, only superusers can create subdirectories. Authorized users can use the MOUNT command to mount file systems in a directory.
