AB_WORK_DIR
Specifies the storage directory for temporary files written by the Co>Operating System when running a job.
When you run a graph, the Co>Operating System creates .WORK directories in the directories of the layouts of program components. During the execution of the graph, if components need to write temporary files, the Co>Operating System creates unique subdirectories in the appropriate .WORK directories, and the components write files in these unique subdirectories. The locations of the .WORK directories are based on the layout of a program component

Answer / abhishek
AB_WORK_DIR specifies the storage directory for temporary
files written by co-operating system when running a job. It
is a configuration variable whose value is a working space
for graph execution. It maintains the information related
to graph recovery.
In most cases, temporary files are maintained in the .WORK
subdirectory of a component’s layout. But when you use host
layouts or database layouts, which lack directory paths, or
when you use unwritable layout directories, the data is
written to a subdirectory of AB_WORK_DIR.
