In a namespace script I would like to use a couple of functions from the dfns workspace. However, if I do ⎕CY 'dfns' all identifiers in dfns will be imported unqualified. How do I import dfns so that I can access functions in dfns with a qualifier, e.g. dfns.vtrim? Do I first need to create a namespace named dfns?

You can import all of the dfns workspace into a namespace called dfns with:

:Namespace Test
  'dfns'⎕NS ⍬
  dfns.⎕CY'dfns'
:EndNamespace

      Test.dfns.pco ⍳10
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29

  • As far as I understand, your example imports three functions into the namespace (script) Test. However, what I would like to do is to import the "identifier" *dfns* only and access the functions with *dfns* as a prefix/qualifier, e.g. `dfns.vtrim` or `dfns.pco`. The advantage of this approach is that I don't pollute the namespace and I can immediately tell where the functions in *dfns* come from. – August Karlstrom Feb 10 '20 at 11:39
  • @AugustKarlstrom Sorry about that. It should be correct now. – Adám Feb 10 '20 at 11:50
