Why does "shape" not accept assigned values, as in the following:
datesperyear=. 365 master=. datesperyear 3 $ 0 NB. this gives syntax error master=. 365 3 $ 0 NB. this does not give error buckets=. datesperyear $ 0 NB. these do not give errors counts=. datesperyear $ 0 This means I have to explicitly specify numeric values in numerous places rather than use a single assigned value multiple times. Thanks in advance for any explanations! Harvey ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
