I might be confused, but I think you want:

vars set’ vals

?

Note that set is actually justa projection of the verb dot:xyz set' 1 2 3becomes(.[x;();:;1];.[y;();:;2];.[z;();:;3])In Junan’s version, the “dot” is the name of the root dictionary (notthe verb). Both solutions only work with global variables and bypassany locals. For example,{xy`z set’1 2 3;x+y+z}[0;0;0]binds x, y, and z globally, but still evaluates to zero.</trie…>

thanks to all - set’ works well for me.

turns out my main problem was that
one of the symbols was `get
