Saving a DataSet

You must save a dataset that you create by importing or defining a derived dataset. You can then use this saved dataset as the source for new datasets using the transform grid, where applicable. You must also save the dataset if you make any modifications to it or any attribute properties. You can save a dataset in either of two ways:

• Save: When you save a newly created wrapper or derived dataset for the first time, the standard Save DataSet dialog box displays, which prompts you for the name you want to use for your dataset. Type the name of the new dataset (up to 32 alphanumeric characters) in the Name.

  On an existing dataset, this save function saves any modifications you made to that dataset with the same properties, however, the Save DataSet dialog box does not display. The Status Bar indicates the save is in progress and the dataset is saved once completed.

• Save As: When you select save as function, the Save DataSet dialog box displays, which enables you to save a new dataset by entering a new name, up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

To save a dataset, follow these steps:

1. From the DataSet menu using the DataSet Editor, select Save or Save As.

   The Save DataSet dialog box displays, unless this is a previously saved dataset and you selected the Save option.

2. Enter the name of the data set you want to save.
3. Click Ok.
