Saving changes without ending the Edit session
To save changes you have made to the current data set or member, without ending the Edit session, use the SAVE command.
File Manager keeps only changed records in memory, unless using a MEMORY record limit, or using record sampling, or using a segmented template with selection criteria. If you run out of memory, the SAVE command may free some memory, which would let you continue the Edit session.
Note: This command is not supported
when editing a
large file using an auxiliary data set. In this case, you
must end the Edit session to save the changes and then
re-edit the data set if you want to make further
changes.
