When you select menu option 23 of the GO SAVE command, the command menu option places your system in a restricted state by default. If you choose the prompting option, you can cancel the display that puts your system in a restricted state.

For procedures where the system does not require a restricted state, ensure that the system can get the locks necessary to save the information. You should put your system in a restricted state whenever you save multiple libraries, documents, or directories, unless you use the save-while-active function.
