SAVE EXTENDED EVE
Creates a section file to save key definitions, menu definitions, compiled
procedures, and most global attributes (same as the SAVE EXTENDED TPU
command). Default file type is .TPU$SECTION.
Examples:
Commands Effects
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE mysec Sets your default section file as
SAVE EXTENDED EVE MYSEC.TPU$SECTION and then creates
that section file in your current,
default directory. On VMS, file
names are not case-sensitive.
SAVE EXTENDED EVE newsec Creates a section file named
NEWSEC.TPU$SECTION in your current,
default directory.
Usage notes:
o If you set a default section file, SAVE EXTENDED EVE does not prompt
you for a section file name---it automatically uses your default (as in
the first example above).
o You use one section file at a time. A section file is cumulative,
saving the current key definitions, menu definitions, global
attributes, and compiled procedures---and any already saved in the
section file you are using. See help on Section Files.
o You can also create a section file by using SAVE ATTRIBUTES or SAVE
SYSTEM ATTRIBUTES, or when you save attributes as part of exiting or
quitting---see help on Attributes.
o In using a section file when you invoke EVE, you must specify the
device (disk) and directory. Otherwise, TPU assumes the section file is
in SYS$SHARE. For more information, see DCL help on EDIT/TPU/SECTION or
set the EVE Reference Manual.
o On ULTRIX, existing section files are copied to a backup file before
being overwritten. This is the default behavior, but you can disable it
or customize the way EVE creates the backup file spec by using the SET
NOFILE BACKUP or SET BACKUP CONTROL STRING commands. For more
information, see help on those commands.
