Specifies if when operating upon a VSAM shared file, during
a CHANGE command with the ALL operand, a SAVE is issued before commencing
the CHANGE.
NO
File Manager does not issue a SAVE before commenting the CHANGE.
YES
File Manager issues a SAVE command which ensures that any updates
made to the file so far are saved. During the CHANGE ALL process,
when using VSCHGAUTO (and a VSCHGFRQ value), the change process may
need to refresh records as it goes (due to concurrent updates by other
users). That refresh may discard other updates that had been made
in this edit session to records on the file. Leaving the setting at
YES, to issue a SAVE before the CHANGE commences, is therefore recommended
as it will ensure the state of the records that have been updated.
