Thread: )DROP message when ws not found

)DROP message when ws not found
Posted: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 11:28 AM (EST)

When you attempt to )DROP a workspace that isn't found, instead of getting the expected WS NOT FOUND message, you get a cryptic "HOST ERROR DeleteFile 9015 0 2 The system cannot find the file specified" message. That appears to be information that the native operating system is returning, but of course APL users expect the traditional message.

For your information, this change in behavior is by design and not a bug. This change occurred with version 3.5 when support for long files names was added.

Then I'm curious why )LOAD, )XLOAD, )COPY, etc. still say WS NOT FOUND ? Why would only )DROP behave differently?

Your point is valid. We're looking into the matter.

The developers have confirmed that this is a bug. Thank you for reporting it.
