While the program you're testing is running, click in the Purify toolbar. Purify takes a snapshot of the current data and creates a snapshot entry in the Navigator while it continues to record data. You can save the snapshot to a Purify data file (.pmy) or to an ASCII text file (.txt).
Note:
§ You can also call the Rational PureAPI function SaveData from the program to take a snapshot of the current data.
