SAVE Instruction

SAVE(no parameters)

SAVE saves the modified RATS data file that you are currently editing programmatically (that is, starting with DEDIT). SAVE is the only instruction that actually alters the data file itself: RATS keeps all changes in memory until you do a SAVE. SAVE does not close the file, so you can save some changes and continue editing.

Example

dedit(new) prices.rat

store price90 price80 price70

save

This creates a new RATS format file called PRICES.RAT, adds three series to it, then saves the changes to the file.
