Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────SAVE───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Action
 
     Causes a procedure's variables to retain their values between calls.
 
     Syntax
 
     SAVE [names]
 
     Parameter          Description
 
     names              One or more names of variables, arrays, or
                        common blocks. Enclose the names of common
                        blocks in slashes. Separate multiple names
                        with commas. If no names are specified, all
                        allowable items in the program unit are saved.
 
     Remarks
 
     The SAVE statement does not allow:
 
        ■ An item to appear more than once
 
        ■ Formal argument names
 
        ■ Procedure names
 
        ■ Names of items in a common block
 
        ■ Names of items in an AUTOMATIC statement
 
     Within a program, a common block that is saved in one subprogram
     must be saved in every subprogram containing that common block.
