#31 ZWRite can't handle environment spec

[Jon Willeke]

The ZWRite command can't handle a global name with an environment specification:

GTM>zwr ^|"mumps.gld"|x
%GTM-E-VAREXPECTED, Variable expected in this context

All the other commands I've tried work: Set, Kill, Lock, ZKill, ZWIthdraw.

Jon,

Yes, currently ZWRITE does not work with extended
references. We will be fixing this in a future release. Until
then you can use the following workaround (which you
very likely are aware)

set gbldirsave=$zgbldir
set $zgbldir="mumps.gld"
zwr ^x
set $zgbldir=gbldirsave

Thanks,
Narayanan.
