System Command WSID

)WSID - Name the current workspace

When you begin using the APL interpreter, the Session Manager presents you with a blank screen, and your workspace has a blank name, it's known as a CLEAR WS. In order to be able to save your workspace, you must give it a name. You can do this without saving the workspace, by issuing a )WSID command followed by the workspace name. You can also name the workspace by doing the same thing with the )SAVE command.

Issuing the )WSID command without an argument lists the current name of the workspace. Otherwise it changes the name of the workspace to the argument.

The command works like this:


      )WSID

IS CLEAR WS

      )WSID big

WAS CLEAR WS

The equivalent System Function to allow a function to retrieve the workspace name is ⎕WSID.
