Hari,

Your original code wasn't contained in the current post, thus you'll have
to change the following to match your actual directory.

However, that said, try something like the following:

%Let ProjectRootFolderPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\atabachn\";

%let PathofInitialData = "Temp\TR-ERT\";

%let FinalFolderName = "ProductA";

options xwait;
X mkdir &ProjectRootFolderPath.&PathofInitialData.&FinalFolderName.;
