Archiving and UnArchiving Variables
Archiving and UnArchiving Variables
Archiving lets you store data, programs, or other variables to the user data archive (ARC) where
they cannot be edited or deleted inadvertently. Archiving also allows you to free up RAM for
variables that may require additional memory.
Archived variables cannot be edited or executed. They can only be seen and unarchived. For
example, if you archive list
L1
, you will see that
L1
exists in memory but if you select it and paste
the name
L1
to the home screen, you won’t be able to see its contents or edit it.
Note:
Not all variables may be archived. Not all archived variables may be unarchived. For
example, system variables including r, t, x, y, and
q
cannot be archived. Apps and Groups always
exist in Flash ROM so there is no need to archive them. Groups cannot be unarchived. However,
you can ungroup or delete them.
