User Command LOAD (Dyalog)

Overview

LOAD is a command used to bring in an object stored in a Unicode text file into the workspace.

LOAD is one of the SALT commands made into a user command.

Assumptions

The argument to load is a file path to the file where the object is stored. The path may be full or relative (including none). In the latter case LOAD will use the 'workdir' setting (see UserCommands/SALT/Settings doe details) to find the file.

Implementation

LOAD accepts a series of switches to alter its functionality:

-version=N will load specific version N
-target=NS will define the object in the NameSpace specified
-source will return the source of the object as opposed to the object itself (or a success message for functions)
-noname will return the namespace but not define it in the ws
-nolink will not keep track of the object source
-disperse will define the objects IN the namespace instead of THE namespace
