Dear list, having a script file A.ijs with the contents
a =. 1 f1 =. a&+ f2 =. 3 : 0 a&+y ) f1 0 f2 0 and loading it with a =. 2 loadd'A.ijs' I see that the value 1 of 'a' is used for f1, but a value of a *global* variable 'a' is used for f2. This bothers me a lot. Hence just by changing from a tacit to explicit form can lead to a surprise. I eventually found a mention of a similar effect in 'Learning J', but I do not understand why it has been designed this way... So what is the way to have local variables (ie, with the scope of a script file) that are visible (as if globals) to the functions within the script? Does one have to create a locale to this end? Thanks for any comments and explanations.
