Function

Saves a copy of the file you are working with on disk. All header information is saved in the current data file, resulting in the same display when the file is reviewed again. Note that this function does not cause you to exit the file or prompt you for format or save options, it merely saves the current state of your data file.

Activating Procedure

  In the File menu click on Save.

   Choose File Save (ALT, F, S).

Special Considerations

Use the Save function when you want to update a file on disk with the most-recent changes. If you want to save a copy of a file without affecting the version of the file already on disk, use the Save As function (refer to the Export function for more Save As details).
