Hi,
as of SVN 258, the local time is shown, followed by the timezone (GMT
+/- offset-in-hours).

Greetings,
Perhaps the time they are showing is local and the "(GMT-4)" is showing its
relationship to GMT.

Hi,
GNU APL is following the IBM APL2 language reference manual as much as
possible (so that we can
use it as GNU APL reference and need no write our own one).
It says:
"For example:
)WSID
THISWS
)SAVE

I am fine having it show timezone. I just need local time AND the WSID.
Thanks.

You are right. )SAVE is indeed a command, and the output is meant for
humans to read. It should be local time. That said, I don't mind seeing the
timezone there as well. It's helpful when looking at logs (I'm speaking
from experience here since I'm right now sitting in a hotel room in Sydney,

Given that )SAVE is a command and not a function (something intended to be
used by another program), I think it is clear that it should display local
time without any timezone information.
Secondly, the output message from )SAVE is for convenience of the immediate
programmer doing the work, and no
Before I continue further, I want to emphasise that there is a problem with
the output of )SAVE. It may, however, be different from your opinion.
There are two different things to think about when working with time:
- Displaying time information for the user's benefit
- For processing by a
Greetings,
Two additional problems with the )SAVE message:
1. Drop the timezone info i.e. "(GMT -5)"
2. Display local time instead of GMT time.
My entire life revolves around my local time. GMT time is largely
meaningless to me. For me, GMT time only has value when I am trying to
coordinate
Greetings,
I believe the )SAVE command should display the name of the workspace after
the date and time. I am looking at the Gilman and Rose APL2 book and
that's the way they show it. (In addition to my memory.)
