Setting an autosave interval

When the Autosave preference is enabled, COBOL Editor periodically saves a local backup copy of your edit session.

If your edit session ends abnormally, due for instance to an operating system or workbench failure, COBOL Editor gives you an opportunity to recover your changes the next time you open the file.
  1. In the Preferences window, navigate to COBOL > Editor > Autosave.
  2. Click the Autosave checkbox.
  3. In Minutes between saves, type the interval between saves.
