Greetings,
I have noticed that in our SASWork directory there are multiple files that have a very interesting naming convention, they don't seem to be removed when we run our clean up utility. I hope somebody can help me understand what these are. Can we just remove them?
Here is a couple of examples of the files:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 abc123 games 9371648 Dec 6 14:51 qeXXXXx5Akvo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 def456 games 10747904 Jan 8 09:57 qeXXXXOfgxa9
Thank you,
Enzo.

Those might be temporary files for DataDirect Drivers:

Since the SAS WORK file system is open for anyone to write to it, sometimes SAS users will copy non-SAS WORK files to this file system.
If the owner does not claim them, then just use a UNIX command (like rm) to remove them.
