Note: Changes made via PC-DBA are stored in the working directory and not updated to the DX-80
system memory until a “SEND” function has been performed.
• Use the information found with each feature description for specific details on programming the various
features.
Database Save and Restore:
The working directory is the location allocated in the PC for all changes while the PC-DBA programming
session is in progress. It is often desirable to save the data in this directory for later retrieval since work on
many various databases may be required.
Important Note: Always use Database Save prior to Database Restore if you intend to preserve the
current contents of the working directory.
