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. Related topics: Attributes Section Files SET BACKUP CONTROL SET DEFAULT SECTION SET FILE BACKUP SET NOFILE BACKUP SHOW FILE BACKUP
