SET SAVE

Saves the current global application settings in their current state for later use.

Syntax

SET SAVE

Comments

The SET SAVE command records the current state of all global settings, and pushes the group of settings onto a stack of previously saved settings (if any).
The SET RESTORE command pops the top group of settings off the stack, thus restoring the values saved in that group.
The global application settings saved to the stack by SET SAVE include

SET AUTORETRYNOT APPLICABLESET CHECKNULLS
SET COLUMNSPACINGSET CURSORSET DELIMITER
SET DOCLINELENGTHSET EOFVALUESET ERRORS
SET ESCAPECHARSET HEADINGSSET INFORMATION
SET INPUT FORMATSET INPUT TIMEOUTSET MEMBERCOUNT
SET MEMBERINTERVALSET MESSAGESSET MESSAGES WINDOW
SET MOUSESET NULLVALUESET OUTPUT
SET OUTPUT FIELDLISTWIDTHSET OUTPUT FORMATSET OUTPUT MASKFIELD
SET OUTPUT TRIMSET OUTPUT VIRTUALFIELDSET PAGESIZE
SET PAGEWIDTHSET PAUSESET SPECIALSCAN
SET STRATEGYSET TEXTDELIMITERSET TIMEOUT
SET TRACE OUTPUTSET TRANSACTION FLOWSET WARNINGS

The SET SAVE command does not record the state of the following settings:

SET BREAKABLESET CHECKSETSSET CURRENTSET
SET DEPENDENCYSET EXCEPTIONSET FLOW
SET LEXTRACESET QUOTINGSET RUNTIME
SET SELECTIVITYSET SINGLESTEPSET SIZE
SET STOP ERRORSSET TRACESET XREF

Example

set save

set output MyDoc

set headings off

set pause off

set pagewidth 100

set pagesize 100

list all Employees

set restore

In the preceding example, SET SAVE saves the current state of the global settings before OUTPUT, HEADINGS, PAUSE, PAGEWIDTH, and PAGESIZE are adjusted to send data to an application document. SET RESTORE then returns the settings to their previous values.
