The XSAVE transformation writes the active file dictionary and data to a system file or scratch 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.
