No.  When you press SAVE, input processing runs/continues.  The record is 
not written/created until you execute a WRITE, or input processing ends.

Consider, for example, the case where input processing verifies the data, 
and refuses to save the record with invalid data.  Or where input processing 
brings up additional screens which need to be filled in before the record 
can be saved.
