Default sequential file creation path in server

Hi,
In the target sequential file stage, if we specify only the file name with out complete path of that file, Where will be that file created? Is there any specific environmental variable to be set for default file creation path on the server!
Any ideas...

Thanks

You really want to specify a full path there as any relative path is relative to the "current working directory" of the job - i.e. the Project. And you do not want to be putting files there.

Thanks Chullet..
Yes we should specify full path of the target sequential file. I just wanted to know if by mistake,
we specify only the file name, in which location datastage creates that file? Is it like C:\IBM\informationserver\project\
<projectname>.....! Can you mention the exact location of those files (files which we didnt specify full path)?

Thanks

That depends on where "you" told the installation software to create the Projects directory. Yes, it should be something like you posted but I don't know what the default for an 8.x installation on Windows is.
