When a multiway table with VARIABLES list without any ':'s is created
by a TAB command, the table is also saved as a new Survo data file
by giving a specification FILE=<name_of_new_data_file>.
Selected lines (typically the current TAB definition lines) are saved
as comments to the new data file by a specification COMMENTS=L1,L2.

Example:
11 *TAB FINLAND / FILE=TAB_FIN1 COMMENTS=11,17 
12 *VARIABLES=Province,Popul,Area CELL=Brthrate
13 *Province=/UUS/TUR/AHV/KYM(South),/HÄM/MIK/KUO/KES/VAA/KAR(Middle),& 
14 *         /-(North)
15 *Popul=0,5000,20000,500000
16 *Brthrate=0,10,15,30
17 *Area=0,1000,20000
18 *

This option is available in versions 3.33+.
