I’m using J807 under macOS. I followed instructions at
https://github.com/bakerjd99/jod/blob/master/jodnotebooks/JOD%20Introduction%20Lab.ipynb
<https://github.com/bakerjd99/jod/blob/master/jodnotebooks/JOD%20Introduction%20Lab.ipynb>
but encountered two problems.
Problem 1 (worked around): In step 2, removal of the temporary lab
dictionaries, when I loaded a script consisting of RemoveLabDictionaries_ijod_
(copied and pasted without modification), I got a syntax error that I am unable
to find.
However, deleting the lines...
if. IFWIN do.
shell 'rd /s /q "',root,'\joddicts\labdev"'
shell 'rd /s /q "',root,'\joddicts\lab"'
shell 'rd /s /q "',root,'\joddicts\toy"'
shell 'rd /s /q "',root,'\joddicts\playpen"'
smoutput 'Lab temporary (win) dictionaries erased'
… and changing the “elsif.” in the following line to “if.”, allows the script
to run.
Problem 2: In step 4, after executing...
3 od ‘' NB. close any open dictionaries
smoutput newd ‘lab’ NB. create (lab) and (labdev) dictionaries
smoutput newd ‘labdev'
...and seeing the expected results, I next executed…
od ‘' NB. list available dictionaries
…but did NOT get as result what the instructions show. I got ONLY:
┌─┬───┬──────┐
│1 │lab │labdev │
└─┴───┴──────┘
This is quite different from what the instructions show, which is (without the
boxing):
1 docs imex jod joddev lab labdev play smugpyter utils
What’s wrong??
