Re: [Bug-apl] →⍬ gives syntax error every other time.

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Alex,

branching to ⍬ means continue execution at the point where it was interrupted (by an error).

This requires a suspended function (and gives an error if no suspended function exists),
and gives the same error as before if you have not removed the cause of the error.

BTW: the + sign after an error tells us that there is more information about the error (which can
be displayed with command )MORE):

      →⍬
SYNTAX ERROR+
      →⍬
      ^

      )MORE
branch back into function (→N) without suspended function

Hi Bug-apl,

To be honest, I'm not too sure what branching to zilde actually means, but it seems to cause an error every other time. I'm not sure if this is expected behavior.

I also noticed that running →⍬ after an error continually returns the previous error. 

      1 2 + 3 4 5

LENGTH ERROR

      1 2+3 4 5

Once again, I'm not sure if this is an error or expected behavior.
