I've noticed a difference between verb definition between JQT and JHS You can define the follow verb from the JQT editor:
scandtsx=:3 : 0 NB.*test v-- scans all dtsx packages in a directory and extracts embedded sql. NB. NB. monad: blcl =. scandtsx clDirroot NB. NB. csql=. scandtsx 'c:\wd\mwecc\fedi' NB. calling (shell) without locale suffix can cause an error in the JHS editor NB. standard J profile !(*)=. shell files=. shell 'dir /s /b ',(dbquote tslash y),'*.dtsx' sqlfrdtsx@read&.> <;._2 files -. CR ) but trying the same code fragment in JHS sometimes fails. It always works if you fully qualify shell as shell_jtask_. Ambigous names gotta love em! -- John D.
