The SAVE command moves a file from the temporary file domain to the
permanent file domain. Use PURGE first if necessary to remove any
permanent file with the same name as the temporary file.

You could also use the following to copy a temp file to a new
permanent file:

    :FILE OLDJUNK,OLDTEMP
    :FCOPY FROM=*OLDJUNK;TO=NEWJUNK;NEW

Hope that helps.
