SAVE DATABASE

Select the Save Database icon to write the strategy currently on your
workspace to disk. The Save Database menu is similar to the Load menu.
Use the menu to enter or select a file name you want to give the strategy.
Only the first eight characters are used for the filename (see note). The
extension .CDB is assumed if no extension is entered (the first three characters
after the period are considered the extension, see Appendix A to prevent
conflicts). After you have named the file, select OK. The file is saved unless
you get an error message. If a file of the same name exists, you are given the
choice of overwriting it or not.

NOTES: Set up subdirectories in DOS. The save utility does not create them.

DO NOT USE a space or characters such as [ ] + = , : ; ” < > / ?
| \ or * in any filename. Characters such as ! @ # $ % & ( ) _ - { } ’
` ~ can be used but should be avoided.

Save your database often during development of a strategy.
