Good morning everyone!

I have a question. I am writing the data to a file using a sequential file stage.

If I do not specify any path and just file name, where will the file gets saved.

I am working on 8.5 installed on windows.

Please help me finding it.

Thanks in advance.

Go look in your project path.

AKA the Current Working Directory for a running job. AKA not a good place to put them.

Ya, it's a pity IBM didn't introduce an environment variable for setting/changing CWD for data file stage types (dataset, CFF stage, Seq file stage, Execute Stage sequence, etc...). Having them drop in the project path by default is so horrible. I've had developers RM * the project path because of bad practices. = Bad day for the admins.
