Hi

Sometimes few junk files will be created in the work directory..

You can delete those files to free up some space...

I feel these files could be of such files.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello $000,

those files look like temporary files generated by the server when doing printout to printers. Typically the server generates a temporary file in work directory and then sends the contents of this file to a printer (could be network printer or local print queue defined on app server itself). The files contain printer commands.

Normally these files are deleted at the end of the data transmission to the host spooler.

But there is an option in SPAD where (for analysis/debugging purposes) you can keep these files for a given SAP printer.

You should check your SAP printer definitions whether this option is possibly set for one or more printers.

Best regards,

  Alexander
