Directory and a Folder mean the same.

If you pass the DIRECTORY name as C:/Test/TEST/TEst, then it wil create a folder called TEST in a folder TEST in a folder TEST in the C drive.

This works like magic for me:

REPORT ZTEST.

data: v_subrc type i.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_create

EXPORTING

directory = 'C:/PO PDFs'

changing

rc = v_subrc

EXCEPTIONS

DIRECTORY_CREATE_FAILED = 1

CNTL_ERROR = 2

ERROR_NO_GUI = 3

DIRECTORY_ACCESS_DENIED = 4

DIRECTORY_ALREADY_EXISTS = 5

PATH_NOT_FOUND = 6

UNKNOWN_ERROR = 7

NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI = 8

WRONG_PARAMETER = 9

others = 10

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.
