Re: QNTC to access a Windows Server

[PaulMmn <PaulMmn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Once you've tried QNTC and MKDIR and it works for what you need, I 
suggest you create a scheduled job to automatically (re)create the 
path after every IPL.  On our systems, we run the job every day (and 
sometimes in the middle of the day) to make sure the directory is 
there when it's needed.
