I am trying to run this code from here http://www.kx.com/q/d/kdb+1.htm :
s:([s:()]name:();status:();city:())
p:([p:()]name:();color:();weight:();city:())
sp:(s:s$();p:p$();qty:())
But I am getting an error saying 'type
What am I doing wrong?
Sometimes I get the error other times I don’t…
Please see attached screen capture.
I just got the latest q (today’s version it seems) and the issue doesn’t happen anymore…
It’s a globals issue, you have defined s and p in the .dw namespace (notice your prompt “.q.dw)” )
Use “\d .” to return yourself to the default namespace.
\d . will return you to the default namespace.
I see, thanks! To still stay under .dw looks like this instead works:
s:([s:()]name:();status:();city:())
p:([p:()]name:();color:();weight:();city:())
sp:(s:.dw.s$();p:.dw.p$();qty:())
