 Some of the formats for storing or transferring APL workspaces use the extensions .apl, .atf, .dws, and .dxf, but there are probably others.
-Saving of individual APL functions in character form was sometimes done using the system variable ⎕CR (canonical representation), which allowed APL functions to be stored or transmitted in text form in places where direct transmission of workspaces was not available.

 Various transfer formats and utilities have been developed to solve this problem, encoding the APL objects in a number of different ways. The odd [[APL code page]] full of special characters poses a difficulty for text-file-based transfer formats; although [[Unicode]] does include those characters, many systems lack fonts supporting them. An "APL-ASCII" format was devised which encodes the characters in human-understandable form with sequences using curly braces and abbreviations like "del" for the Del character.
