I think fairly straightforward approach works best
set l = ##class(%ListOfDataTypes).%New()
do l.Insert(1)
do l.Insert(2)
do l.Insert(4)
set lb = ""
for i=1:1:l.Count() { set lb = lb _ $lb(l.GetAt(i)) }
zw lb
>lb=$lb(1,2,4)
%Collection.ListOfDT Serialize and deserialize methods seem like doing the trick.
But I found the documentation is a little bit ambiguous as the sample in the header refers itself to %ListOfDataTypes.
You're sure about that?
I understand these methods should only be used when the list property comes from a %Persistent object, but new instance with %New method is not allowed.

thanks @Eduard Lebedyuk
Yes it works great. that's the way we did it. So no direct straight serialization system function. ;-)
There is actually. %GetSerial method builds a $lb from %ListOfDataTypes and %SetSerial does the reverse.
Both of these methods are private though. You can subclass %ListOfDataTypes and publish them.
Oh great!
Please InterSystems developers, make these useful methods public and supported ;-)
You can request new features/enhancements in WRC tickets.

%Collection classes are internal and not to be used.
You're sure about that?
I understand these methods should only be used when the list property comes from a
%Persistentobject, but new instance with %New method is not allowed.Well, %Collection classes are the implementation of these constructs:
You can call their methods but do not explicitly create objects of these classes.
And you can request it here in case you don't have WRC account or/if you want to make it public and get votes.
