&PATFIL
Controls pattern data creation during archive filing of the entire part using the FILE statement.
NOTE: When you set &PATFIL, the system ignores the current part
condition.
Pattern data WILL be saved within a part file under two conditions:
When &PATFIL is set to 1 (&YES) prior to filing.
When the current part already contains pattern data and &PATFIL is NOT set to 2 (&NO) prior to filing.
Pattern data WILL NOT be saved within an archive part file under two conditions:
When &PATFIL is set to 2 (&NO) prior to filing.
When the current part does not contain pattern data, and &PATFIL is NOT set to 1 (&YES) prior to filing.
NOTE: Setting the pattern data archiving switch to NO (&PATFIL=2)
also sets the shaded data archiving switch to NO (&PATSHD=2), since shaded
data cannot be filed unless pattern data is filed.
