Save version

Files which have been saved at a certain time are combined to form a save version. A save version is identified by a save version identifier (svid). This is assigned by ARCHIVE in the form S.yymmdd.hhmmss, where yymmdd is the date (yy=year, mm=month, dd=day) and hhmmss the time of day (hh=hour, mm=minute, ss=second).

Save versions are addressed via the svid in ARCHIVE statements.
