⎕DM - Diagnostic Message

⎕DM Diagnostic Message set to last error message string APL's Interpreter encountered.
⎕DM cannot be assigned a value by the User. APL interpreter sets its string value when it encounters an error, e.g. 'DOMAIN ERROR'.

⎕DM is set by APL to the last diagnostic error message the Interpreter encountered.
It is for informational, for diagnostic purposes only. User cannot set its value.
⎕DM is useful for viewing the last error message, particularly if Error Trapping is
being used, or for system-function and user-function debugging purposes. Just type in:

⎕DM


⍴⎕DM ⍝In a CLEAR APL Workspace ⎕DM's value is a null string.

0

Quad DM(⎕DM) is a system variable. An APL error in the right argument of ⎕EA will send a
diagnostic message to ⎕DM, as will a triggering error event re ⎕ELX.
