Hello David;

This seems as impossible as ,^:_1 x .

Could you see adding more arguments?

Obviously I didn't fully explain myself ... try again!

  A=: ,&]/  i. 4 4 3
$A
16 3
Now I would like to reverse A back to $ 4 4 3

How would one reverse that reduction?

$ ,&]/  i. 4 4 3
16 3

Assuming one knew the original form, from 16 3 back to 4 4 3

Ok then:

   $ ,&]/  i. 1 2 3
2 3


   $  ,&]/  1$'a'


By definition,   ,&]/   and  ,/   can't differ;  but since  ,&]/  isn't
supported by special code, it doesn't suffer from the bug
indicated by Roger.  OTOH, since it isn't supported by special code, it is
not as efficient as  ,/  .  But it's nearly as terse, equally
understandable, and is, until the next release, more reliable than its
optimized counterpart.
