Description

The SAVE MENU command saves a menu that can be restored again with the RESTORE MENU command. The SAVE MENU command saves the current @...MENU context, which is useful in validation and hot key procedures when you want to move off and then back on the current menu.

TO <memvar>

The optional TO <memvar> clause is used to store the current @...MENU context to a memory variable. Menus saved to a memory variable can be restored with the RESTORE FROM <memvar> command. Without the FROM <memvar> clause the RESTORE MENU command restores the last menu saved.

Example

procedure check_value
  save menu to m_recv
  restore menu from m_recv
return
