Details
This command stores the image of presently closed channels and associates them with the name parameter in
memory.
If name is already used for an existing channel pattern, that pattern is overwritten with the new pattern channel
image (if no errors occur). The previous image associated with the name is lost.
An error is generated if:
•
The name parameter already exists as a label
•
Insufficient memory exists to save the channel pattern and name in persistent memory
•
The pattern name exceeds 19 characters or contains a space
