Writing

The current work file can be written back to a POSIX file with @CLOSE provided that this has been previously read in with @XOPEN or if a new POSIX file has first been created with @XOPEN, MODE=NEW. After the write operation, the file is closed and the work file is deleted.

The current work file can be written to a new POSIX file with @XWRITE. The work file is retained after writing.

The current work file can be written to an existing POSIX file with @XWRITE. This completely replaces the old file content. The work file is retained after writing.

@XWRITE can be used to write the current work file back to a POSIX file which has been opened with @XOPEN. The file remains open after writing and the work file is retained.
