Description

PARAST specifies the archive file identifier of the archive file to which all structures in the CSS will be archived. 

  This function stores all structures in the CSS in the specified open archive file.  The value of the archive conflict resolution flag (MAINTAIN, ABANDON, or UPDATE) determines how the function treats existing structures encountered in the specified archive file. 

If a structure is open, the function operation closes that structure, archives it, then reopens it in the CSS.  If the archive file is filled before the operation archives all structures, it stops archiving and issues a warning message.  (The last stored structure is complete; no structure is archived in part.)
