If the word formation rules were changed, hmm...
Indeed, I cannot get an error from statements like:
{{'a' 0}}.'this is a test'}}
nor
{{pdn=. ((<ps-.~>0{pdn),&.>1{pdn) 0}}.pdn}}
(Even when I spread things out onto multiple lines and use the )n decoration,)
So that reported premature termination must represent some kind of error.
Thanks,
