These files are created during NFS processing. Since NFS tries to
give you normal FS semantics, but has not a local (and error free)
disk, it needs to store some states. In general, during normal
operation you can savely ignore the files (they are usually deleted
when the file is closed IIRC). They stay only on disk, if the program
or machine crashes -- you may try to run lsof on these files.
Did you close the files with ABAP? Oh, and HP really should know
about these files...
