USAVE
Type: Pseudoverb (usually only command on the line)
Use: USAVE allows a user to store permanently and for another user
the current contents of AIPS to be gotten at a later time.
USAVE will store on disk all procedures as well as the current
value of all variables. Up to 99 different copies of AIPS may
be saved by each user. Each copy has a user-chosen name of up
to 16 characters. The name must begin with a letter, but may
contain special characters and imbedded blanks if you type the
name surrounded by single quotes ('). In order to replace an
existing save area, you must type the name exactly. The file
may be recovered with the pseudoverb GET, but only when logged
in as the other user number. Verbs SGINDEX, SGDESTR, and
SAVDEST are also of use to that user.
Example: USAVE 36 APCLN3C123
USAVE 123 'MAP CASA'
Adverbs: None
The input line may contain other statements besides the
USAVE n x command. However, since USAVE is a pseudoverb, it
will be executed before any of the normal verbs on the command
line.
