⎕ML ⎕EL ⎕CS

Migration level (⎕ML, ⎕EL, ⎕CS), Evolution level, or Compatibility setting is a number that, in Dyalog APL, APL+Win, and APLX respectively, specifies exact behaviour relative to APL2. In Dyalog APL and APL+Win, a lower value represents a behaviour closer to the original NARS specification, while a higher the value represents a behaviour closer to APL2. In APLX, a lower value matches APL2 while a higher value indicates higher backwards compatibility with APL.68000.

APL+Win settings

[TBD]

Dyalog settings

Dyalog APL currently offers the following settings:

<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕ML=0</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>Z←∊R</source> Monadic <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>∊</source> is interpreted as Type rather than Enlist.
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕ML=1</source> Default behaviour
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕ML≥2</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>Z←↑R</source> Monadic <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>↑</source> is interpreted as First rather than Mix.
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>Z←⊃R</source> Monadic <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⊃</source> is interpreted as Mix rather than First.
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>Z←≡R</source> Monadic <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>≡</source> returns a positive rather than a negative value, if its argument has non-uniform depth.
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕ML=3</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>R←X⊂[K]Y</source> Dyadic <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⊂</source> is interpreted as Partition (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⊆</source>) rather than Partitioned Enclose.
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕TC</source> The order of the elements of <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕TC</source> is the same as in APL2.

Work-arounds

When migrating to Dyalog APL, the below drop-ins for the affected built-ins allow setting <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕ML←1</source> while preserving code behaviour. It is then safe to programmatically (as shown in the rightmost column) change all occurrences of the affected built-ins with their respective covers.

Migrating from Define Then run this on all code
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕ML=0</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl>Epsilon←{×⎕NC'⍺':⍺∊⍵ ⋄ ⊃0⍴⊂⍵}</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>[^]+ '∊'⎕R'&' 'Epsilon'</source>
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕ML=2</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl>

UpArrow←{×⎕NC'⍺':⍺↑⍵ ⋄ ⊃⍵} RightShoe←{×⎕NC'⍺':⍺↑⍵ ⋄ ↑⍵} EqualUnderbar←|≡ </source>

<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>[^]+ '↑' '⊃' '≡'⎕R'&' 'UpArrow' 'RightShoe' 'EqualUnderbar'</source>
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕ML=3</source> <syntaxhighlight lang=apl>

UpArrow←{×⎕NC'⍺':⍺↑⍵ ⋄ ⊃⍵} RightShoe←{×⎕NC'⍺':⍺↑⍵ ⋄ ↑⍵} EqualUnderbar←(|≡) LeftShoe←{×⎕NC'⍺':⍺⊆⍵ ⋄ ⊂⍵} quadTC←(⎕UCS 8 13 10) </source>

<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>[^]+ '↑' '⊃' '≡' '⊂' '⎕TC'⎕R'&' 'UpArrow' 'RightShoe' 'EqualUnderbar' 'LeftShoe' ' quadTC'</source>

Alternatively, the definitions can be used directly inside the text substitutions, whereby one avoids polluting existing code with these cover names.

APLX settings

APLX treats the value as a collection of individual bits, thus allowing the combination of an exact set of behaviours:

<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕CS←1</source> Stranding is done before bracket indexing
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕CS←2</source> The name class of an invalid name is 4 rather than ¯1.
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕CS←4</source> Format (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⍕</source>) and default output uses the same width for all columns, rather than determining the width separately for each column.
