Since you're creating your form with model 'ABC', your data array
should look like
$this->data['ABC'][]
So instead of checking for the presence of data in it's entirety,
check for that specific key:
if( !empty( $this->data['ABC'] ) ) {
// execute saving method
}
If you were sending data along too, such as
echo $form->hidden('id'); // still assuming the ABC model
Then you could check for
if( !empty( $this->data['ABC']['id'] ) ) {
// run operation
}
