Notes About SAVE
• If KEYx, KEYS, or SOURCE is not entered in the SAVE command, data in the
work area will be stored for either a BASIC program or a DATA file, depending
on the definition of the work area.
• If you interrupt execution of a SAVE command by pressing the ATTN key, the
operation is terminated. If the interruption occurs before the file has been
changed, the file remains unchanged. If the interruption occurs after the file
has been changed, the file is reinitialized to unused status.
• IMFs are not stored with the SAVE command. You must apply IMFs with the
PATCH command before you load the work area with any saved program
requiring IMFs.
Example
A sample SAVE command is as shown:
SAVE 4, KEY8
In this example, the contents of function key 8 are saved in file 4, which resides on
the cartridge in the built-in tape unit.
