Preserve a record buffer from global clearing


SYNTAX

preserve record_id [, record_id] …

The preserve command prevents the named record buffer or buffers from being cleared by a global clear (the clear command with no arguments), which normally clears all record buffers. The preserved status remains in force until it is removed by means of the unpreserve command, or until the program terminates.

The preserve command may be applied to both open and closed files.
