Save study results

Sometimes when doing applied modeling one finds a lot of experiments have been done and it's difficult to reconstruct the exact assumptions that were employed in a particular experiment.  Save files provide a mechanism for archiving a file containing study results.

One can retain the save files which contain all the data and assumptions implicit in a program.  Data items and stored solution results can be displayed revealing values present at the time the save file was constructed.  Modifications can be made in report writing without having to rerun the whole study providing the appropriate data have been stored.

On the other hand, saving files means one cannot get an algebraic listing of equations, data manipulations etc. (the model can be resolved to list current equations or the parameters displayed to get current values).  Nor can one recover any comments in the GAMS segments leading up to the saved file.
