SAVE - save current program state

Usage:

save

Description:

This command provides the user with a means to save the current state of his program. Upon receipt of the save command, the entire contents of allocated core will be saved on a temporary qstar file (*tcp), created for this purpose by the trace package, under the module name 'object'. The command may be exercised as often as desired. Note that parameters are not specified.

For a variety of reasons (no file space available, I/O error, etc.), the save command may be unsuccessful in completing its function. Its success or failure will always be reported to the user.

The SAVE command does not save file positions, nor does it save the program descriptor. The *tcp file is a genuine qstar, which can be saved using the PERM, RENAME, or COPY tss commands.
