Progress 4GL: Regarding OUTPUT TO statement

Question

What happens when I don't give directory path? Where the file is exported?

DEFINE VARIABLE cPath AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
cPath = STRING(MTIME) + "_user.out".

OUTPUT TO VALUE (cPath).
MESSAGE "In side a file".
OUTPUT CLOSE.

Answer 1

The file is exported to your client's working directory. That is typically the directory where you've been in when you have started the client process (_progres, prowin, prowin32).
