Access to workspace )vars within a class?

[sloughin]

How would one reference a var defined in the workspace within a class? For example, suppose I have a list of items, as enclosed character arrays, which I want to reference within a class:

myList←('apple' 'banana' 'cherry' 'date') ⍝ myList shows up in )vars

then in my class (e.g. ○FruitCake ) ...

∇z←indexOf fruit
z←myList ⍳ ⊂fruit

do I need to do something special so that myList is "visible" within the class? When I try something like the above, I get a Value Error for myList

Thanks for your help!

First, you probably don't want to really do that if you can avoid it.

But if you insist, then use an absolute path to the variable like:

      #.myList

If the variable is in fact a constant, then just define it as a read-only public field on the class. If it needs to be used by many classes, then you might consider creating a base class that all classes inherit from.
