Creating a new directory

Directory structures help you to manage your program and data transparently. At all storage
locations, you can create subdirectories for this purpose in a directory.
In a subdirectory, in turn, you can create programs and then create program blocks for them.
Note
Restrictions
• Directory names must end in .DIR or .WPD.
• The maximum name length is 28 characters including the extension.
All letters (except accented characters), numbers and underscores are permitted for
name assignment. These names are automatically converted to upper-case letters.
This limitation does not apply for work on USB/network drives.
