Write a member list to a sequential data set (SAVE)

The SAVE primary command writes a member selection list to a sequential data set. The format of the SAVE command is:


>>-SAVE--+---------+--+------+---------------------------------><
         '-list-id-'  '-LONG-'

where:

list-id: Optional. A user-specified qualifier of the sequential data set to which the member list is written.
LONG: Optional. LONG formats all dates in yyyy/mm/dd format for the member. Additionally, for PDS data sets not containing load libraries, the untranslated member name is written after the member name.

ISPF names the data set:

prefix.userid.list-id.MEMBERS

prefix: Your data set prefix, as specified in your TSO user profile. If you have no prefix set, or if your prefix is the same as your user ID, the prefix is omitted and the data set name is userid.list-id.MEMBERS.
userid: Your TSO user ID.
The data set is created if it does not exist, or written over if it exists and has compatible attributes.

ISPF writes the member list in the current sort order and as it appears on the display, except for the column headings, line command fields, and anything you have typed on the display.

If you omit the list ID, ISPF writes the member selection list in the current sort order, including column headings, to the ISPF list data set. Processing is the same as using option X of the Library utility (primary option 3.1), except that data set information is not printed.
