WRITE

        LAS\WRITE [Observation]

    Writes the observation in the R buffer onto the output file. If  a  ver-
    sion  of  this  observation is already in the file, a new version of the
    observation is created. A new observation number can be specified as ar-
    gument.  The  information  written depends on the operations done on the
    observation. Existing fit results are written. The calibration  informa-
    tion  is written only if the calibration is checked (see SET CALIBRATION
    command).

    In the case of (old) on-the-fly data, WRITE automatically splits the da-
    ta  into records with entry numbers starting at 1 unless the observation
    number of the first record is given explicitly.

    The behaviour depends on the "File Type" (see FILE command).  For  files
    of type MULTIPLE, a new version of the spectrum is written if the Obser-
    vationNumber already exists in the file.

    For files of type SINGLE, the ObservationNumber is automatically set  to
    the next one available in the file. If an ObservationNumber is specified
    in the command, WRITE checks if it already exists. If so, it returns  an
    error;  if  not,  it  attributes  the specified ObservationNumber to the
    written spectrum.
