Hi, Not sure if you had an answer to this yet or not. In essence what you're doing is using the source Dataset to name the destination Feature Type and using the source Feature Type to name the destination Dataset. To do this you need to get the names you need as attributes and use fanouts on the data.
The output folder structure is relatively easy. All you need to do is expose fme_basename on the source Feature Types and set a Dataset Fanout for the output based on this attribute. This will turn the original file name (Feature Type) into the output directory name (Dataset). To name the file after the source is slightly more difficult. You'd have to use @Filenamepart() to get the directory (use an AttributeCreator) and strip off the final part (the 39DN2) as an attribute. AttributeSplitter might help for that. Then simply set a Feature Type fanout(s) using the attribute you've just created. There's an example workspace using @Filenamepart() on fmepedia at http://www.fmepedia.com/index.php/Example_Workspaces Easier than I thought it would be. There must be a catch somewhere. Even so after some tweaking it should work as advertised. Having set up the above you could simply run File->Batch Deploy to work through as many source datasets as required.

What I have is * some hundreds of directories, each containing a number of layers in E00 format. * One SHAPE file containing a - for want of a proper English word - 'geo-directory' indicating the rectangular areas each of the directories on my disk covers. One attribute contains the proper directory name for that particular area. What I want is to automate processing of all those directories. The resulting files should be grouped by theme rather than by area. So let's say I have this input directory with source files: 39DN2/ areas_builtup.e00 areas_agri.e00 lines_infra.e00 lines_water.e00 I want to achieve the following structure areas_builtup/ 39DN2.SHP areas_agri/ 39DN2.SHP lines_infra/ 39DN2.SHP lines_water/ 39DN2.SHP The conversion itself is not very complicated and already taken care of, it is the automation of the batch that is the issue here.
