Purpose
Saves all modifications made to the design.
Syntax
|
SAVE < /RENAME= $F > |
Description
In order to minimize the risk of corruption a design is only ever open for brief moments during the run of the system. Whenever a design is opened a copy is made of it to a WORKFILE and the original design is closed. All interactions are made with this WORKFILE and the original design is not modified until a CLOSE/SAVE, EXIT/SAVE or SAVE command is issued. The SAVE command copies the current contents of the WORKFILE to the active design thus preserving all changes.
Users should perform regular SAVEs at convenient intervals, especially before attempting operations where the results may be uncertain, and to avoid loss of work due to computer system problems.
