Re: [Bug-apl] Commands made executable

[David Lamkins]

That's a nice addition. We get the benefits of access to session commands without a bunch of new quad-foos.

I don't really care one way or the other about providing access to usercmds. One the one hand, it seems self-consistent to allow this case. On the other hand, it's another extension to IBM/ISO behavior.

I personally don't have an application for `⍎ ']usercmd'`.

That said, I think it'd be nice if errors propagated through the execute. For example,

      ⍎')foo'

doesn't complain about a BAD COMMAND, nor is ⎕EM set.

Subject: [Bug-apl] Commands made executable

Hi,

as of SVN 321 I have made commands executable with ⍎.
Since this is a rather new feature, expect surprises (and please report them).

Not sure how user-defined commands work with this (eg. if they fail) and if
they should be allowed in the first place.

The answer to Blake's question below is then:

      x←,⊃⍎')WSID'

Greetings,

Is there a way to get the WSID of a workspace?

I am looking for:

x←??????

So that x ends up with the WSID.

I don't think there is, it would just be nice in a particular instance.

Thanks.

Blake
