A quine is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output.

Wikipedia.

How about a fun challenge?

The task is to write a quine in InterSystems ObjectScript. It can be a class, or a method, or a routine, or just a line to be executed in a terminal. You decide!

Here's some resources you might consider useful:

• $TEXT
• XECUTE
• $XECUTE
• %Compiler.UDL.TextServices:GetTextAsString
• %Dictionary package
• Indirection

Hard mode: do not use source code access functions.

Here's my (extremely uninspired, I know) attempt:

Class User.Quine
{

/// do ##class(User.Quine).Test()
ClassMethod Test()
{
    set sc = ##class(%Compiler.UDL.TextServices).GetTextAsString($namespace, $classname(), .str)
    write str
}

}

It produces this output:

How many different ways of producing a quine are there in ObjectScript?

Hey Community,

Here is a digest of the Developer Community videos on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel in August 2021:

Hello, 

The database is increasing a lot (almost a 1TB) and getting bigger with no sense after migration, the use of the plataform did not increase after the migration so is strange for us this increase.

how can I check everything is ok in the database? for example any table getting bigger.

Before the migration the logs were like:

07/22/21-17:18:26:304 (19701) 0 Starting Expansion for database /opt/Intersystems/HS/HS_201521705/mgr/cachetemp/. 276 MB requested.

07/22/21-17:18:26:373 (19701) 0 Expansion completed for database /opt/Intersystems/HS/HS_201521705/mgr/cachetemp/. Expanded by 276 MB.

Could you help me please. I am a VistA Application Administrator for the State of Tennessee and I have been using your web site: https://www.bmirwin.com/vnode/dictionary/index.php to write reports for the Health Departments in my state and I see it was shut down on 9/1/21. It was such a great site and I found it very easy to use. Is there a replacement site where I can get that information. It was so well formatted.

Thank you,

How do I successfully start a terminal session?

I am trying to add a custom z-segment to a message.  The Below code does not error out but I also do not get the segment added.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using Deferred Response.

After I have obtained a token, is it possible to retrieve initial request somehow?

I'm creating patient extensions and I'm sending an SDA file to be interpreted by Information Exchange.

How do I map the custom SDA3 so that Information Exchange can see these new extensions?

I'm using SDA3.

How do I programatically query a task set up in the task manager? I need to know the code being executed.

This article explains how to use the InterSystems IRIS platform to write a basic IMAP client. First, we present an overview of IMAP, then we discuss the main IMAP commands and client implementation. Finally, we offer a simple use of this IMAP client on the IRIS interoperability application.

Note that this article isn’t a detailed IMAP explanation. For more detailed information, please check the references of this article.

IMAP Overview

In Java we can use reflection to get the method arguments in an array, we can also get the name of argument. 

Do we have similar features in ObjectScript? 

Thanks!

New to Health Connect so please forgive me if this is a stupid question! Is there a specific error code returned when a user initiates an abort from the jobs tab of the business host?

I have a client running cache on an AIX platform. I put together a objectscript to allow for the viewing the processes running against the database using a select from SYS.Process. One of the values I want in the view of the processes information is Jobtype but I want to convert it from the numeric value to a string value. In the Intersystems documentation there is a reference to an include file $syPidTab.inc that should include macros that make this translation.

There is  a finite list of date formats that users want to use to enter a date in a form. These formats include single digits for month and day and double digits for year.  The field is represented by a dateText control.

I tried to set the value of format = "#(myPageProperty.myValue)# " but I got a compilation error in Studio so that went nowhere. Has anyone ever been able to set the format value depending on the user input value?

Hey Developers,

⏯ A Look at InterSystems Reports

In Caché, it's possible to iterate a local array using $QUERY() :

set a("foo") = 50
set a("bar") = 30

set key = "a"
for
{
     set key = $QUERY(@key)
     quit:key="" 
     write key_" = "_@key
}

This code works perfectly, unless it's called in a job (eg: a routine called by the JOB command).

In that case, $QUERY will return an empty string. It's like the array cannot be referenced anymore by simply using it's name.
It works using $ORDER(a("")) but I would like to use $QUERY if possible (because my array has several dimensions and it would require several for loops).
