You can't* use relative path in Qlik Sense. You need to use the LIB. 

If the LIB is to change often then you could store it as a variable in the beginning of the script and then use the variable thereafter.

SET vLib = lib://DEV - Dept- Qliksense/;
LOAD * FROM [$(vLib)QVD\sales.qvd] (qvd);

STORE myTable into [$(vLib)QVD\myTable.qvd] (qvd);

*) it might be possible with relative path if you on Qlik Sense System level changes from Standard mode to Legacy mode. Read: Disabling standard mode ‒ Qlik Sense on Windows and  Legacy vs. Standard Mode in Qlik Sense: Explainer and Security Considerations and
