8.2.29 RSave

RS[AVE] postcond SP L routineargument

routinekeywords are processed in strict left-to-right order. When multiple equivalent routinekeywords are encountered, the last occurrence processed will define the action(s) to be taken.

Assume that glvn is represented as A(i₁ , i₂ , ... i_x ) (x '< 0). Then the data values of all nodes A(i₁ , i₂ , ... , i_x , i_x+1) for which the value of $Data is either 1 or 11 are stored as lines of the routine denoted by routineref. The lines are taken in the subscript ordering for i_x+1 as specified in the definition of $Order (7.1.5.11).

If glvn is undefined or if no node A(i₁ , i₂ , ... , i_x , i _{x + 1} ) with a $Data value of 1 or 11 exists, the routine denoted by routineref is deleted.

If any one of the values denoted by A(i₁ , i₂ , ... , i_x , i _{x + 1} ) does not conform to the definition of a line the effect of executing the RSave command is unspecified.

At no point during the execution of the RSave command will any process be able to see a partially-filed routine.

Execution of a RSave command where routineref names the currently-executing routine causes an error with ecode = "M25", and the routine is not modified.

The naked indicator is modified by the reference to glvn if it is a glvn, but not by the implicit reference to the immediate descendants of glvn.
