dfns.dws is a workspace which is supplied together with Dyalog APL. Since the introduction of direct functions in 1996, and their inclusion in Dyalog APL version 8.1,[1] people have been contributing to the collection.
Late John Scholes was the editor of this workspace. He presented a talk about the contents of the workspace at Dyalog '09.[2]
Example usage
As with other workspaces, workspace dfns can be copied into the current workspace using the system function ⎕CY:
⎕CY'dfns'
⍝ Example call: timing an expression using function `cmpx`
1 cmpx '((1e6∘|2∘×)⍣871) 1'
0.0001302490234375
Copying in only one or more specific functions is done by adding a left argument:
'dec' 'hex'⎕CY'dfns'
hex 1234
04d2
dec '04d2'
1234
It can also be used to import the entire workspace into a utility namespace:
{(⍎⍵⎕NS⍬).⎕CY ⍵}'dfns'
⍝ Example call: calendar function from the new namespace
