Does IRIS really not mention Cache in its $ZVERSION string?

#Caché #Compatibility #InterSystems IRIS

Documentation (http://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?...) states that it looks like:

IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2018.1 (Build 487U) Tue Dec 26 2017 22:47:10 EST

Does it really true, or just a documentation typo?

Yes, it is true. InterSystems IRIS is a new product and therefore $ZVERSION string is using IRIS word instead of Caché.

Indeed. As a consequence, some of our tools that check $ZV to tell if they're running on the InterSystems platforms or on one of the other M implementations have had to be modified to treat "IRIS" as equivalent to "Cache".
