Re: [Bug-apl] Rank error

[Blake McBride]

Sorry about that.  I oversimplified an actual case I had.  I'll re-raise the issue if and when I hit it again.  (I don't remember where that was.)

On another note, the two )COPY issues have become a bit of a stumbling block for me.  I actually lost work yesterday because of them.  (I am finishing up an APL editor written in APL.  I would typically load the WS I want to edit, copy  the editor WS, edit the WS, and then ⎕EX the editor.  This doesn't work without a functioning )COPY.  Thanks!)

Thanks.

Hi Blake,

according to IBM [] binds stronger than vector notation (APL2 language reference, page 34).
IBM APL2 also gives RANK ERROR in the examples below. Eg. 1 2 3[2] is evaluateded as 1 2 ( 3[2] ).

Of course, they should all work as if they were assigned to a variable first.
