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 AUTORETRY	NOT APPLICABLE	SET CHECKNULLS
SET COLUMNSPACING	SET CURSOR	SET DELIMITER
SET DOCLINELENGTH	SET EOFVALUE	SET ERRORS
SET ESCAPECHAR	SET HEADINGS	SET INFORMATION
SET INPUT FORMAT	SET INPUT TIMEOUT	SET MEMBERCOUNT
SET MEMBERINTERVAL	SET MESSAGES	SET MESSAGES WINDOW
SET MOUSE	SET NULLVALUE	SET OUTPUT
SET OUTPUT FIELDLISTWIDTH	SET OUTPUT FORMAT	SET OUTPUT MASKFIELD
SET OUTPUT TRIM	SET OUTPUT VIRTUALFIELD	SET PAGESIZE
SET PAGEWIDTH	SET PAUSE	SET SPECIALSCAN
SET STRATEGY	SET TEXTDELIMITER	SET TIMEOUT
SET TRACE OUTPUT	SET TRANSACTION FLOW	SET WARNINGS

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

SET BREAKABLE	SET CHECKSETS	SET CURRENTSET
SET DEPENDENCY	SET EXCEPTION	SET FLOW
SET LEXTRACE	SET QUOTING	SET RUNTIME
SET SELECTIVITY	SET SINGLESTEP	SET SIZE
SET STOP ERRORS	SET TRACE	SET 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.
