Create 366-day month, day, comments subfolder set

[Rick Reinckens]

This program creates a set of 12 monthly folders, day folders in those, "comments" folders in those. It must be run from TCC, not Explorer.

That is way more verbose than it needs to be. I hard coded '2019' and 'Comments' in this example, but you should be able to adapt it as needed.

setlocal 
function monthf=`%@word[%1,. Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec]`
function mdays=`%@word[%1,. 31 28 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31]`
do m=1 to 12
  do d=1 to %@mdays[%m]
    md /s %@formatn[02.0,%m] - %@monthf[%m] 2019\%@formatn[02.0,%d]\Comments
  enddo
enddo
endlocal

The long version will work under TCC/LE, which doesn't allow user-defined functions.

It would be easier (example October) to omit
FOR %%Day_Num in (01 ...

And just use:
FOR /L %Day_Num in (1,1,31) GOSUB Make_Folders

And then in Make_Folders
IF %Day_Num LT 10 SET %Day_Num=0%Day_Num MKDIR "%MO %YR\%Day_Num"

Do it with a one-liner in TCC versions >25. Replace ECHO with MKDIR /S. You might want to suppress the error message when it tries to make "Jan...\01" a second time in a non-leap year.
