The save table statement saves the current contents of the table buffer to the table.
save table table_name{, norelease}
• table_name – The name of the table that will have its table buffer contents saved.
• norelease – An optional keyword that prevents an active lock from being released after the save operation.
After the save table statement is run, any passive or active lock is released, regardless of whether the save operation was successful. You can use the norelease keyword to prevent an active lock from being released by the save table statement.
After a successful save operation, the save table statement automatically updates the fields in the table buffer that were changed by other users. This means that the values in the table buffer after the save operation may differ from the values in the table buffer before the save operation. After a successful save operation, you may want to update the data displayed in your application to reflect these changes.
