Using script to create folder for prg and save part program

Been reading up on the script manual (PC-DMIS) 3.6 Basic Language Reference Manual) trying to figure out how to get the script to create a folder for the report, the .prg, and any other files associated with the program by serial number of the part.

For example:
PART#_DESCRIPTION_SERIAL#_DATE_TIME

The goal is to write a script contained in the .prg that, upon execution of the part program, will create a folder in a specified directory with the variable filename using the inputs from the part program and save the .prg with the same name.

How would I pass the information from the operator inputs of the part program into the script to make this happen?

So what command (syntax) actually creates the folder I want? CreateObject?

Sub Main

' THIS SECTION DECLARES THE VARIABLES For THE FILENAME SAVE And FOLDER CREATE
' "SET" DECLARES THE VALUE OF THE VARIABLES
' "PART.GETVARIABLEVALUE" PULLS THE VARIABLE VALUE FROM THE .PRG UPON EXECUTION

Dim App As Object
Set App = CreateObject("PCDLRN.Application")

Dim PART As Object
Set Part = App.ActivePartProgram

'Declares PartProg As the Active part program

Set PartProg = App.ActivePartProgram

Set Cmds = Part.Commands

Set VSERIAL = PART.GETVARIABLEVALUE ("VSERIALNUMBER")

Set VDATE = PART.GETVARIABLEVALUE ("VDATE")

Set VTIME = PART.GETVARIABLEVALUE ("VTIME")

Set VPARTNUMBER = PART.GETVARIABLEVALUE ("VPART")

Set VDESCRIPTION = PART.GETVARIABLEVALUE ("VDESCRIPTION")

Set RESULTS = RESULTS

Set  VPROGRAMID = PART.GETVARIABLEVALUE ("VPROGRAMID")

'Creates the file folder path

Set FILENAME = CREATEOBJECT(VPART & "_" & VDESCRIPTION & "_" & VSERIALNUMBER & "_" & VDATE & "_" & VTIME)

Set FILEPATH = CREATEOBJECT("D:\CMM_PROGRAMS\" & VPART & "_" & VDESCRIPTION & "_" & VPROGRAMID & "\" & RESULTS & "\")

Set FOLDER = CREATEOBJECT(FILEPATH & FILENAME)

End Sub
