You can save a hold-file by allocating it to a permanent place on disk. If you're running Webfocus on a NT-platform you should allocate the holdfile by using a filedef-command to a permenant directory before you use the table request that will write to it.
e.g.

FILEDEF FILE1 DISK C:\SHAREDIR\FILE1.FTM
TABLE FILE CAR
  PRINT *
  ON TABLE HOLD AS FILE1
END
-RUN

However:
Maybe you do not want to write to a flat file so other users can use them. Better is to write to a focus-file or a sql-file because there is no garantee that nobody else is writing to the same file at the same time.
The result of writing to a flat file may be unpredictable. Frank van de Kant
