How to create a folder under program generated folder name?

One module of my project auto-generates the folder name but I am not able to create folder under that auto generated name. mkdir is not working.... please help.

What do you mean by "mkdir is not working"? Are you getting an error? Is the name incorrect?

This works for me (R2013a)

    folder_name     = 'name_of_subfolder';  % this subfolder does not exist
    parent_folder   = 'h:\m\cssm';          % this folder exists
    mkdir( parent_folder, folder_name )

What have you tried and what error message did you get?

.

Or, if neither folder_name nor parent_folder exists

    folder_name     = 'name_of_subfolder';  % this subfolder does not exist
    parent_folder   = 'h:\m\cssmXX';        % this folder does not exist
    mkdir( fullfile( parent_folder, folder_name ) )
