{{Built-ins|Migration level|⎕ML|⎕EL}} or '''Evolution level''' is a number that, in [[Dyalog APL]] and [[APL+Win]] respectively, determines exact where the original [[NARS]] specification and the current [[APL2]] implementation differ. A lower value represents a behaviour closer to NARS, while a higher the value represents a behaviour closer to APL2.
{{Built-ins3|Migration level|⎕ML|)EvLevel|⎕CS}}, '''Evolution level''', or '''Compatibility setting''' is a number that, in [[Dyalog APL]], [[APL+Win]], and [[APLX]] respectively, specifies exact behaviour relative to [[APL2]]. In Dyalog APL and APL+Win, a lower value represents a behaviour closer to the original [[NARS]] specification, while a higher the value represents a behaviour closer to APL2. In APLX, a lower value matches APL2 while a higher value indicates higher [[backwards compatibility]] with [[APL.68000]].

⎕ML )EvLevel ⎕CS

Migration level (⎕ML, )EvLevel, ⎕CS), Evolution level, or Compatibility setting is a number that, in Dyalog APL, APL+Win, and APLX respectively, specifies exact behaviour relative to APL2. In Dyalog APL and APL+Win, a lower value represents a behaviour closer to the original NARS specification, while a higher the value represents a behaviour closer to APL2. In APLX, a lower value matches APL2 while a higher value indicates higher backwards compatibility with APL.68000.

APL+Win settings

APL+Win's default is )EvLevel 2.

Feature )EvLevel 0 )EvLevel 1 )EvLevel 2
Dyadic ⊂ EVOLUTION ERROR Partitioned Enclose Partition
Monadic ↓ EVOLUTION ERROR Split SYNTAX ERROR
Monadic ∊ EVOLUTION ERROR Type Enlist
Monadic ↑ EVOLUTION ERROR Mix First
Monadic ⊃ EVOLUTION ERROR First Mix
Bracket indexing of a strand EVOLUTION ERROR indexing applied to strand as a whole EVOLUTION ERROR
Unparenthesised strand assignment EVOLUTION ERROR assigned value distributed to names EVOLUTION ERROR
(/) EVOLUTION ERROR Replicate function EVOLUTION ERROR
(\) EVOLUTION ERROR Expand function EVOLUTION ERROR

Work-arounds

APL+Win provides system function alternatives to the functions that are affected by moving to evolution level 2:

Partitioned Enclose ⎕PENCLOSE
Split ⎕SPLIT
Type ⎕TYPE
Mix ⎕MIX
First ⎕FIRST
Replicate function ⎕REPL
Expand function ⎕EXPAND

Dyalog settings

Dyalog's default setting is currently ⎕ML=1.

Feature ⎕ML←0 ⎕ML←1 ⎕ML←2 ⎕ML←3
Monadic ∊ Type Enlist Enlist Enlist
Monadic ↑ Mix Mix First First
Monadic ⊃ First First Mix Mix
Monadic ≡ on array of uneven depth negative result negative result positive result positive result
Dyadic ⊂ Partitioned enclose Partitioned enclose Partitioned enclose Partition
⎕TC ⎕UCS 8 10 13 ⎕UCS 8 10 13 ⎕UCS 8 10 13 ⎕UCS 8 13 10

Work-arounds

When migrating to Dyalog APL, the below drop-ins for the affected built-ins allow setting ⎕ML←1 while preserving code behaviour. It is then safe to programmatically (as shown in the rightmost column) change all occurrences of the affected built-ins with their respective covers.

Migrating from Define Then run this on all code

Alternatively, the definitions can be used directly inside the text substitutions, whereby one avoids polluting existing code with these cover names.

APLX settings

APLX treats the value as a collection of individual bits, thus allowing the combination of an exact set of behaviours:

⎕CS←1 Stranding is done before bracket indexing
⎕CS←2 The name class of an invalid name is 4 rather than ¯1.
⎕CS←4 Format (⍕) and default output uses the same width for all columns, rather than determining the width separately for each column.
