)IN (lib) filename (name(s))


Imports a Transfer File into the active workspace. Transfer Files are text versions of APL objects that are created by the )OUT command, or equivalent APL functions. They may be created by APLX or by another APL interpreter such as IBM's APL2. The Transfer File format is fully explained under the )OUT and ŒTF commands. The default file extension for Transfer Files is .atf.

You can import either the whole Transfer File, or just selected items as specified by the 'names' parameter of the command. For example:

             )FNS
             )IN DISPLAY             (Read the whole Transfer File)
             )FNS
       ABSTRACT        DISPLAY DESCRIBE
             )CLEAR
       CLEAR WS
             )IN 3 DISPLAY DESCRIBE  (Read specified objects from Transfer
                                      File in Library 3)
             )FNS                     
       DESCRIBE
             )IN 2 DODO              (Transfer File not found)
       WS NOT FOUND

Library specification and path names

There are two different ways in which you can specify where APLX should look for the Transfer File:

See the description of the )LOAD system command for more detail on libraries and path names.
