Save Data (DSM)

The Save Data selection from the File menu saves the current Job (and all of its related files) to the diskette/directory of your choice.

1. Make sure the data you want to save is shown as active at the Main Menu.
2. When you select Save Data from the File pull-down menu, the Save Data Set window displays. 
3. The program automatically selects drive Desktop as the default and creates a default filename using the name of the Dataset. You can either accept these defaults or select another drive and enter a different filename. The files will be "zipped" (compressed) to conserve space on the destination drive/directory.
4. When you have entered the proper information, press OK to save the files (go to step 5). If you decide not to save the files, press Cancel.
5. If the program finds the same filename on the destination drive/diskette, it prompts This file already exists. Replace existing file? If you answer Yes, continue to step 6; No returns the program to step 3 (enter another filename); Cancel aborts the Save process.
6. If you pressed OK or Yes to proceed with the Save process, after a short wait, a progress box displays, showing the percentage of Save process completion.
7. When the Save process is complete, the Main Menu returns.
