Hi

when we write any code,we will save the code.

And what is the necessary to activate that?

Can anybody guide me what is the major difference between SAVE and ACTIVATE.

Hi,

Save: Even the code contains errors you can save the code and can reopen the program later to correct the errors.

Its just saved.You may get syntax errors or not.

Active:Program is syntax error free.So you can use this program to transport the program to quality and then production if you are getting output as per requirement .

For some type of programs like Modulepool Programs should be active to design layout editor and all.

hi,

SAVE : will saves your program.

Activate : when other user run u r program your programs active version only runs. if your not activated your program that program cann't be run by other user.
