prompted whether the definitions are to be activated.
Example:
"Do you want to activate the definitions from file GUD7.DEF?"
"OK" A query is displayed asking if the currently active
data should be saved. "Should the previous definition data
be retained?"
"OK" The GUD blocks of the definition file to be
edited are saved, the new
activated and the saved data
are imported again.
"Abort" The new definitions are activated, the old
are lost.
"Abort" The changes in the definition file are
discarded, the associated data block is not
changed.

If a definition file is unloaded, the associated data block is deleted
after a query is displayed.

If a definition file is loaded, a prompt is displayed asking whether to
activate the file or retain the data. If you do not activate, the file is not
loaded.
If the cursor is positioned on a loaded definition file, the softkey
labeling changes from "Load" to "Activate" to activate the definitions. If
you select "Activate", another prompt is displayed asking whether you
want to retain the data.
