SRAM Data retention in low power modes

I need to know if SRAM data is retained during any or all of the low power modes:
WAIT, DOZE, STOP.
 
MCF52235RM  Rev. 5  09/2007 (9.4.2.2)
states that the SRAM is disabled in low power modes.
I understand that to mean no read or write access.
It does not say whether data is retained.
 
Can anyone verify if SRAM data written prior to entering a low power mode
is valid after a return to run  mode?

My Apologies for that.

I use both WAIT and DOZE modes to conserve power, and then continue running from where I left off on wakeup via EPORT IRQ1*.  SRAM and peripheral states (for peripherals I do not explicitly power down) are preserved.  Is that what you are asking?

Yes Rich, that is what I needed to know.
We are looking at using the SRAM for non-volatile storage.
With a battery back-up.
 
Thank you for this response, as well as many others.
Your name has appeared in quite a few of the threads I've read.
