DEBUG SAVE — VMS C_3.0

     Saves the contents of an existing screen display in a new  screen
     display.   This command thus permits a "snapshot" of a display to
     be saved for later reference.  The new display  is  created  with
     the  same  textual  contents  as  the  existing display.  It also
     inherits all other attributes of the existing display except that
     it  is  removed  from  the  screen  and it is never automatically
     updated.  The saved display can later be displayed on the  screen
     with the DISPLAY command.

 Format:

     SAVE [/qualifier] old-disp AS new-disp [,old-disp AS new-disp...]

 Example:

     DBG> SAVE SRC AS SAVESRC ! Save away source display
     DBG> STEP;STEP;STEP      ! Step to another place
     DBG> DISPLAY SAVESRC     ! Bring back saved source display

Qualifiers

/SUFFIX

/SUFFIX[=process-identifier-type]

     Note:   This  qualifier  applies  to  a  multiprocess   debugging
     configuration (when DBG$PROCESS has the value MULTIPROCESS).  Use
     this qualifier only directly after a display name.

     Appends a process-identifying suffix  to  a  display  name.   The
     suffix  denotes  the  visible  process.   This  qualifier is used
     primarily  in  command   procedures   when   specifying   display
     definitions   or  key  definitions  that  are  bound  to  display
     definitions.  Use any of  the  following  process-identifier-type
     keywords:

        PROCESS_NAME     The display-name suffix is the VMS process name.

        PROCESS_NUMBER   The display-name suffix is the process number
                         (as shown in a SHOW PROCESS display).

        PROCESS_PID      The display-name suffix is the VMS process
                         identification number (PID).

     If  you  specify  /SUFFIX  without  a  process-identifier-   type
     keyword,  the  process  identifier type used for the display-name
     suffix is, by default, the same  as  that  used  for  the  prompt
     suffix (see SET PROMPT/SUFFIX).
