Summary :
The SAP GUI 4.6D, under certain conditions, generates 'dev_otf' trace files in the current working directory even when tracing is not enabled. These files are associated with processing in SAPscript and Smart Forms during operations like print preview. This issue results from the GUI's inherent behavior in its specified version. To address this, users are advised to apply the latest patch (minimum patch level 664) to their SAP GUI 4.6D. For detailed instructions on patching, refer to SAP Note 96885.
