APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• The documentation
  says:?--------------------------------------------------?The
  following setting specifies where Transformer saves models. On
  Windows, the default is the \Transformer\Models subdirectory
  under your home directory. On UNIX and Linux, the default is the
  temp subdirectory in the installation_location/c8 directory. If
  you are running Transformer with an .mdl file and you have
  specified the -s option, a .py? file is created in this
  directory. (The ? in the extension .py? is replaced by the
  character used in your version of Transformer, such as .pyj for
  versions 8.3 and 8.4.)??<Preference Name="ModelSaveDirectory"
  Value="path"/>?-------------------------------------------------
  ------------
  
                   ?With respect to the Transformer Command Line,
  it But it works as follow:           ?
                                                          ?If the
  Model that is to be Opened does not include a Path with it then
             ?the ModelSaveDirectory setting is used to resolve
  the Path for it.                 ?
                                                      ?However,
  the ModelSaveDirectory setting does not apply to the -s Option
           ?when Saving the Model, if the Model that is to be
  Saved does not include           ?a Path with it then the
  default Path is the current working directory.             ?
