Where do Progress / QAD "TMPxxxx" numbers come from?

We have several processes which generate temporary references in the form "TMPxxxx" where x is a digit. These appear to be used for session temporary file names, and for keys in the usrw_wkfl table. I¹m not sure if these are generated by QAD (MFG/Pro), or Progress, or just by the individual programs.

A colleague has suggested they come from Progress/Openedge, but I can't find anything in the documentation, or any references on the web either for QAD or Progress, hence this question.

If there is a standard process within Progress/Openedge or QAD for this could somebody point me in the right direction please?

Thanks!
