]user commands and MiServer programming

[woody]

Greetings.

Is it possible for MiServer .dyalog MiPages to reference User Commands?

a←⍎']?' does not work.

Can user commands be called within APL program?

Thanks!

Using ⍎ on strings that contain invalid APL statements like anything starting with ] or ), for example, will yield an APL error.

Most system commands (starting with a ')') have system function equivalent, e.g. )WSID has a ⎕WSID similar function.

User commands don't have system function equivalents.
When you call a user command the system takes the string to the right of the ']' and passes it on to ⎕SE.UCMD as right argument.
You can use that program too, i.e. to call

      ]?

you can do

      ⎕SE.UCMD '?'

and catch the result if you wish.

Excellent!

works like a charm.

Code: Select all

  Load 'APLROOT'
Development environment loaded
MiSite "D:\APL\MiServerV24-APLscriptV2\APLROOT\" loaded

       ⎕SE.UCMD 'Load D:\APL\MiServerV24-APLscriptV2\APLROOT\*'

 #.APLscript  #.Start  #.WIKIPortal  #.editscript  #.helloworld  #.index  #.indexOLD1  #.EditPage  #.httprequest  #.sessioninfo  #.Status  #.CLEARNS  #.CLEARNS  #.CLEARNS 
... snip...

Hi Woodley,

If you're just looking to load APL script file, there's no need to use a user command - that's a native capability with SALT. You can just do

      ⎕SE.SALT.Load 'filespec'

.
