STOW	If you use the command without object-name, the current source object in the source work area and the generated code are stored in the library under the name of the object last read into the source work area (for example, with EDIT or READ).
STOW object-name	Use this command syntax to store a new object (source and generated code) named object-name in the current library. If the object exists in either source or cataloged form, the command is rejected.
STOW object-name library-id	If both object-name and library-id are specified, a new object will be created and stored under that name in the specified library ID. If the object exists in either source or cataloged form, the command is rejected.

Note:
If an FDIC system file is specified in the parameter file which is not valid, Natural will display an appropriate error message when the STOW command is issued.
