SAVE_VALUES Procedure

The built-in procedure save_values(<filename>) saves in a datafile the settings of all parameters currently bound to a value. The single argument is the full filename of this datafile. Its typical use is described under restore_values. A data file generated by save_values can be inspected to discover in which format external programs must write parameter settings for ESTA. For instance if the external program will terminate by defing a number of parameter values, and let ESTA decide the remaining relevant parameters based on rules and/or a dialog with the user.

Examples

call save_values('c:\esta\setup.dat')
