Claim 0:
1. A method for computer-assisted operation of a memory unit, the method comprising:
saving data in the memory unit and encoding the data prior to saving;
retrieving the data from the memory unit and decoding the data after retrieval;
monitoring the memory unit for errors by carrying out a temporal sequence of computer-assisted checking operations for the memory unit;
for a first-time encoding of the data:
generating or selecting at least one application data set containing a data segment having application data for an application program and a check data segment;
writing count data that characterize a checking operation being implemented to the check data segment of each of the at least one application data set; and
encoding and saving each of the at least one application data set;

for checking the data in the checking operation being implemented, after retrieving and decoding the at least one application data set:
determining an error for the at least one application data set when the count data characterizes neither the checking operation being implemented nor a most recent completely implemented checking operation;
when no error was determined, occupying writing the count data that characterize the checking operation being implemented to the check data segment of the at least one application data set; and
encoding and saving the at least one application data set if no error was determined.
