Turns autosave on and off.
The SETAUTOSAVE command turns autosave
on or off for the Program Editor. However, the value set for autosave in the
Preferences dialog box has precedence. To open the Preferences dialog box,
select Tools ![[arrow]](../../../../common/61991/HTML/default/images/arrow.gif)
Options Preferences. Autosave is controlled by the Backup Documents check box
on the DMS
tab. On this tab, there is also a field in which you can specify the interval
for these backups.
If you turn autosave on using the SETAUTOSAVE command
and the Backup Documents check box is selected,
then SAS automatically saves the contents of the Program Editor into a file
named pgm.asv
in your current
directory at the interval specified on the DMS
tab.
If you issue this command but do not specify ON or OFF,
SAS displays the current autosave setting.
