NEWVERS Command

Specify ON or OFF. Valid only for archived members. The ELIPS edit NEWVERS command allows the setting of the NEWVERS status.

The NEWVERS status indicates to ELIPS EDIT whether the SAVE command creates a new version (archive level).

ON - Creates a new version for each SAVE issued during the edit session (provided the SAVE detected changed data).
OFF - Creates only one version, regardless of how many SAVEs were issued during the edit session. Use NEWVERS OFF when you want to SAVE data changes frequently, but do not want to create multiple versions of the member during the edit session.

The NEWVERS setting affects only the SAVE command, not the END command, and is maintained from session to session until you change it.
