WRITE-DATA( ) method

Instructs the profiler to analyze the data that was recorded and to write the current information to the profile output file. If the write is successful, then the profiler returns TRUE. It returns FALSE if it fails to write the data. A failure to write data could mean either there is no new data or that the profiler could not open the specified output file. Time spent analyzing and writing the profiling data is deducted from any future data profiling.
