Hi Elias,
it was available ,but behaves differently. ⎕ES stops execution
while the ERR function only displays an error if it occurs.

Thank you. I see now how it works. Personally, I'd use Quad-ES to set
an error state instead. Was Quad-ES available on APL2?

Hi Elias,
ERR is indeed a function, defined on page 49 of that document.

I was browsing the APL2 documentation, and came across the
following code (page 56, on the PDF here
<http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/h2110720.pdf>):
[0] Z←NAME GETW N
[1] ⍝GET ITEMS N FROM THE TABLE NAMED NAME
[2] Z←''
[3] →('NOT A VALID TABLE NAME' *ERR*~(⊂NAME)∊TABLES)/0
[4] TAB←⍎NAME
[5] B←N∊TAB[;1]
[6] →0ρ('ITEM(S)'((~B)/N)'NOT FOUND')*ERR*~^/B
[7] →(~∨/B)/0 ⍝ EXIT IF NONE FOUND
[8] Z←(TAB[;1]∊N)⌿›TAB
What is ERR here? It seems like a function that sets some error
state? It certainly looks like something useful to have. I can't
think of any way I could build this myself though.
