This is not true. If I use two separate MKDIR commands

MKDIR (SYS(2023)+ '\mykatal')
MKDIR (SYS(2023)+ '\mykatal\andmed')

all is OK: VFP creates subdirectories in hidden directories in this case !

however, it does not create a subdirectory with a singe command:
MKDIR (SYS(2023)+ '\mykatal\andmed')

Why ?
