Re: [Bug-apl] scripting )copy question

[Louis de Forcrand]

If I understood correctly, you are asking why executing 

')COPY SQL.apl'

with the execute primitive inside another function does not copy the SQL 
workspace until after the surrounding function has ended.

I regret that I cannot answer you, but I am sure others here can. It would make 
their task easier however if you would use some punctuation and perhaps be 
somewhat more polite.
