How do you test if and folder/directory exists?

[Guest_imported]

I know that I can use the file() function to test if a file exists. Is there a function that will test for the existance of a directory or sub-directory?

How about DIRECTORY()?

Hi GKJ423:

****************************
*Assgn Directory/Folder name to a varaible
LOCAL myDir
myDir = "C:\DirectoryName"

*If Directory created above does not already exist than *MD Make Directory else.......

IF ! DIRECTORY(myDir)
MD &myDir
ENDIF
****************************

Just an addition:
iso of using MD &myDir =>
MD (myDir) takes care of directories containing spaces.
