Variable *PRINT-ARRAY*

Value Type:

a generalized boolean.

Initial Value:

implementation-dependent.

Description:

Controls the format in which arrays are printed. If it is false, the contents of arrays other than strings are never printed. Instead, arrays are printed in a concise form using `#<` that gives enough information for the user to be able to identify the array, but does not include the entire array contents. If it is true, non-string arrays are printed using `#(...)`, `#*`, or `#nA` syntax.

Examples: None.

Affected By:

The implementation.
