THE ACTIVE WORKSPACE ENVIRONMENT IN A CLEAR WS
When the 5110 is first turned on, or the RESTART switch is pressed,
or the )CLEAR command is executed, the active workspace
environment has the following characteristics:
II
The index origin (010) is 1.
II
The comparison tolerance (OCT) is 1 E-13.
II
The random number seed (ORL) is 16807 .
• The print width (OPW) is 64.
II
The print precision
(0
PP) is 5 .
• The latent expression (OLX) is an empty vector.
II
The workspace identification [ )WSID ] is CLEAR WS.
II
The number of symbols allowed [ )SYMBOLS ] is 125.
(See the IBM 5110 APL Reference Manual, SA21-9303, for a complete
description of the system variables and system commands.)
These characteristics control the way some of the APL functions and
system commands will work in the active workspace. For example, if
you have assigned 125 variable names and you enter the statement:
NAME126~IROCHESTER'
SYMBOL TABLE FULL
NA~I~E :1.26
a SYMBOL TABLE FULL error message is displayed, because only 125
symbols (names) are initially allowed in the active workspace. How
you change some of the active workspace environmental
characteristics is discussed next.
