I am maintaining some old code in K 2.95 (2003). We are planning tomove to thelatest KDB+ 2.6. However I found the many of the K 2.95 constructsdoes not work inthe version of K embedded in Q that comes with KDB+ 2.6. Anysuggestions about whereto find docs on the version of K embedded in Q, and guides on upgrade?Below is a partial list of the constructs that worked worked ok with K2.95, but with K embbeded in current Q:/ dictionary with attribute: a: .,(b;5;.,(c;form))/ show a K data object in a window: msg:"Hello world" show $ `msg/ there is a Q construct with similar syntax, show msg, but it doesnot do the same thing, it only displays the data object in the consolewhile the K 2.95 version shows it in a window and allows editing inthat window/ Many of the monadic primitives in K 2.95 does not work in Q. I heardthat they are replaced with names. Is there an exhaustive list?
There is a good list here:https://code.kx.com/trac/wiki/ReferenceI also suggest reading:https://code.kx.com/trac/wiki/QforMortals2/contentsYou can also take a look at the q.k file in your KDB+ distribution,which defines the q style verbs.Kaving worked with k2.95 -> q ports myself, I found that to be a goodidea.On 13 Dec, 21:01, GH <yzg…> wrote:> I am maintaining some old code in K 2.95 (2003).
