MATLAB: Saving workspace from a class

classsave

I'm looking to save the workspace from a method of a class. Using just 'save(filename)' it saves only the object. Is there a way to save the entiere workspace from a class?
classdef DataFile
  properties
      filename
  end
    methods
        function self=DataFile(filename) % creator 
            self.filename=filename;
        end
        function save(self) %save the current workspace
            save([self.filename, '.mat']);
        end
    end
end

It is saving the entire workspace. You are inside a function, and each function has its own workspace. The only thing in that workspace is what has been passed in, which here you name self.
There may be items in an enclosing workspace, but save() without named variables is defined as working with the current workspace.
