is it mandatory to compile and build the object file and run the pgm in the same location for quick screens?

Hi all

we are running power house in Unix environment. 

While compiling and executing a quick screen , is it mandatory to
compile and build the object file in the same location? Although the
screen seems to run without any errors, some functionalities dont seem
to work if the object file is placed in a different location other than
where it had been compiled. (The designer procedures coded for the F1,
F2 , F3 keys )

Will having the obj in some other location and executing the file from
that location create problems?

For ex. 

i have my source code in /aa/qksrc/source.qks , and i compile the code
from there and specify the path  /aa/qkobj/ for the object file to be
created.

After compiling the source code in the path the /aa/qksrc/ , the object
file is created in the location  /aa/qkobj/ in the name source.qkc.
There is also another temporary object file created in the location
/aa/qksrc/. 

The problem is when i execute the one created in /aa/qksrc/ by a simple
"GO" statement after compilation, the F1, F2 , F3 etc keys seem to
function properly , the way it had been coded and labels appear in the
buttons that are created for those keys. 

But if i run the screen from the location /aa/qkobj the functionalities
coded for F1 , F2 , F3 keys dont seem to work. 

can i know y this happens? 

Thanks
