I would suggest that you do one of the following:

Use cd /d  q:\data (drive letter and directory(folder) to get to the drive.
Use md (not makdir) as that may or may not be in the path. 
MD direcotory1
MD directory1\directory2

Keep in mind that the first md will create the directory in the current
directory or root of the drive you are on.

Option 2
Q:\
Cd data
MD direcotory1
MD directory1\directory2

There is a third option, create a batch file with the parameters as
variables passed to the batch file from filePro or have filePro write the
batch file and the run it or just have filePro create the folders for you as
needed.

I have an output that does this. It checks to see if the directory(folder)
exists, if it doesn't, the folder is created. 

Contact me off list id you would like this code.
