Parameters

WindowNameList

Specifies one or more windows to be saved. Separate the window names with commas.

ALL

Saves all window definitions to the window file or memo field.

TO FileName

Specifies the window file to which the window definitions are saved.

If you don't specify an extension when naming the file, the default extension of .win is assigned. If you specify another extension when you save the window definitions to a file, you must include the extension when you restore the window definitions from the file.

TO MEMO MemoFieldName

Specifies the memo field to which the window definitions are saved. The table containing the memo field must be open; however, it does not have to be in the currently selected work area. To save window definitions to a table in another work area, include the table's alias when specifying the memo field.

Remarks
