NAME
saveval - enable or disable saving of values
SYNOPSIS
saveval(arg)
TYPES
arg any
return null value
DESCRIPTION
When evaluation of a line of statements at top level starts, a
"saved value" for that line is assigned the null value. When saving
is enabled (the initial state) and a statement being evaluated is an
expression or a return statement, the value returned by that expression
or statement replaces the current saved value; on completion of
evaluation of the line, the saved value, if it is not null, updates
the "oldvalue".
This saving of values is enabled or disabled by calling saveval(arg)
with an argument arg that tests as nonzero or zero,
Whether saving is enabled or disabled does not affect the operation of
eval(str).
EXAMPLE
> saveval(1);
> a = 27;
.
27
> saveval(0);
> a = 45
.
27
> saveval(1);
