You should have searched on the Forums first.
quote:
As to best usage, it comes down to application (obviously) and generally I would suggest that HOLD would be used when you want to further process the data, SAVE when you do not require a master but want the data available to another application (CSV files, dialogue manager -READs etc.) and SAVB when you want the data in the internal format (numerics held as binary etc.) without the master file description - possibly because you have the master file already.
SAVB is probably not used that much now-a-days as the tendency appears to be to create and load a FOCUS file if you have the master file desc. I certainly haven't used it for quite a while.

Difference between SAVE and SAVB is that SAVE stores data in plain text. SAVB stores numeric data in 4 byte or 8 byte binary and all fields start on a 4 byte boundry.
