Hi Peter,
it very much looks like the VALENCE ERROR is caused by the minus
sign in 1E-13. The question is where the minus comes from. There
are two possibilities:
1. The most likely case is that the user has written 1E-13 in some
APL script (but meant to write 1E¯13). In this case GNU APL seems to
behave correctly (1E-13 is parsed 1 E - 13 and then E must be dyadic).
2. The minus comes from am earlier )DUMP which wrote 1E-13 instead of
1E¯13. In that case the information below is not sufficient as to
how the
fault was produced.
Please check your workspaces with a text editor (both .xml and .apl files
are human readable). GNU APL tends to use uppercase E and ¯ (like 1E¯13)
in .apl files and lowercase e and ASCII - (like 1e-13) in .xml files.
Therefore
the combination of uppercase E and ASCII - is not supposed to occur in
either file format.
Best Regards,
Jürgen
