The IBM APL Products and Services group is pleased to announce Service
Level 13 for Workstation APL2 for Multiplatforms Version 2.0. This new
service level is available for all Workstation APL2 platforms including
AIX, Linux, Sun Solaris, and Windows.

Along with fixes for customer reported problems, Service Level 13
contains the following enhancements:


All platforms:

New external function ROUNDC provides high-performance commercial
rounding. The same function is available for mainframe APL2 in PTFs

The limit on the length of function lines is raised to 32767.

The Execute Controlled system function returns full stack information on
error.

Processor 15 adds support for arbitrary arrays and variable monitor
expressions.

Performance of access to linefeed-delimited text files is improved in
Auxiliary Processor 210.


Windows:

Popup documentation for APL characters is provided on the APL Assist
toolbar.

The current line may be selected for execution from the Session Manager
and Object Editor, with results displayed in a separate window.

Custom toolbar buttons can execute APL expressions.

Unicode characters may be entered using the numeric keypad.

The Library Manager and WSCOMP support comparing objects containing
Unicode characters.

Other development environment additions include Copy To... on the Log
pull-down menu, Trace All Labels and Stop All Labels on the Breakpoints
menu, and Close Popups on the Windows menu.


Service Level 13 is available through the Support option at the APL2
home page to customers with a Software Maintenance contract, or at the
following link:

Further information on the new facilities will be found in the updated
APL2 User's Guide and on-line help after installing the service. A
complete list of fixes included in this level will be found in the

How is that performed?

By pressing and holding the Alt key and then typing the Unicode codepoint of
the character on the numeric keypad.

Can you go the other way around and get the codepoint of the
character?
