The XSAVE transformation writes the active dataset's dictionary and data to a system file. It is similar to the SAVE procedure, with two differences:

• XSAVE is a transformation, not a procedure. It is executed when the data is read by a procedure or procedure-like command.

• XSAVE does not support the UNSELECTED subcommand.

See SAVE for more information.
