Try adding ICONVIEW=FLOWED,NORMAL; like this:

 rc = SysCreateObject(  'WPFolder' ,,
                        folderName   ,,
                        basePath     ,,
                        'ICONVIEW=FLOWED,NORMAL;OBJECTID=' || folderID ,,
                        'R' )

This info courtesy of Deskman/2 (after asking it to generate rexx to 
rebuild a folder set with flowed icons). :)

"a simple task: I would like to create a folder with the
icon view set to "flowed". I can create the folder just
fine with code like this:

rc = SysCreateObject(  'WPFolder' ,,
                       folderName   ,,
                       basePath     ,,
                       'OBJECTID=' || folderID ,,
                       'R' )"

Try:
'ICONVIEW=FLOWED;OBJECTID=' || folderID ,,

I got this from Mindy Pollack's excellant "OS/2 Warp Workplace Shell API". I believe it's in
the IBM online somewhere, but it's a chore to find.

Dave,

You want the ICONVIEW=FLOWED,NORMAL; setup string.

For the best collection of available setup strings, get REXX Reference
Handbook by Dick Goran. Indelible Blue has it.

Dave:

There are quite a few Rexx-examples and docs floating around the net.  To
research on your I suggest you use the search-feature (actually a Rexx-program
running on that GoServe-server) of the OS/2 Forum Austria at

        http://www.os2forum.or.at/software/htmlmirrors/

If you enter "rexx and wps" you'll get a listing of all files on either
hobbes.nmsu.edu or ftp.cdrom.com (you choose the server where to look for); the
appropriate index is searched for and the results shown.  Simply click on the
file name and it will get ftp'd to your PC.

The file

   ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/dev32/rexx/rexxwps.zip
   Oct  8 09:05    13399 REXX listings from "REXX Report, Summer 1995"

contains (among short Rexx examples) the setup-keywords for the most important
WPS-classes.

If you have access to DevCon than lookup the WPS-documentation for these very 
same keywords.

Your suspicions are correct.  Here's the REXX/2 statement:
classname = 'WPProgram'
title = 'Your Title'
location = '<DESKTOP>'
setup = 'OBJECTID = <' || objectid || '>;' || 'ICONVIEW = FLOWED;' 
rc = SysCreateObject( classname,title,location,setup, 'U' )

One favor in return?  If you ever do find the complete scource for these
setup strings, please let me know at 76505.125@compuserve.com

 Very simple, just add 'ICONVIEW=FLOW;' to the settings:

 rc = SysCreateObject(  'WPFolder' ,,
                        folderName   ,,
                        basePath     ,,
                        'OBJECTID=' || folderID || ';ICONVIEW=FLOW;',,
                        'R' )

 It is in the WinCreateObject documentation - which means
 you need access to the programmers toolkits.
 In particular remember to separate setup bits by ";"
 and I find it never hurts to terminate the string with ";" either.

 I agree, though, that this stuff should ship with Rexx/2.
