Use SystemCheckpoint to write control information to disk so that in the event of a system failure (e.g., a power outage), BIM-EDIT/XP can recover all system and session information upon restart.

 

SystemCheckpoint may also be entered as SysCheckpoint, CheckpointSys[tem], or Checkpoint.

 

SystemCheckpoint has no operands.

 

BIM-EDIT/XP automatically invokes SystemCheckpoint when:

a session is closed.

a certain amount of time has elapsed since the last SystemCheckpoint.

BIM-EDIT/XP is shut down.
