Hi everybody, We have written a convert from Punycode. This is reformed from javascript. Perhaps many non-English systems need to use this feature in domain name resolution. Anyone can use and change the code as needed.
It is easy to receive JSON representation or dynamic Array from %ListOfDataTypes:
set l=##class(%ListOfDataTypes).%New()
do l.Insert("a")
do l.Insert("b")
do l.Insert("c")
set arrStr=l.$toJSON()
zwrite arrStr
set arr=l.$compose([])
zwrite arr
How to make backward conversion? How to receive %ListOfDataTypes from dynamic Array an JSON string?
RESTFormsUI calls %Save() for me, which is great. But I want to set the property CreationDate with the current date for every new record being inserted.
So object callback implementation seems as a reasonable option. I did the following:
Inspired by the article "Declarative development in Caché" that's still trending on the dev com. The OP explored a functional style of iterating over a collection. A comment today suggested "Caché would need syntax support for anonymous functions".
With Macros you can kind of get anonymous like syntax using dot notation.
This is not production code, but it does work. First the macros...
A feature I recently used in working on ISC internal applications is the ability to send emails on behalf of someone. This is useful when generating system notifications from an application when you want some of them to show up as being from a specific person, perhaps posting comments on a work ticket.
In my case I was updating our facilities work order system for tracking requests. Normally all notification emails are sent from the same noreply email address. I wanted to change that so comments added from the original requester would show up as being from them and stand out.
As more people join Developer Community, and with increasing efforts to promote code sharing, I'd like to draw fresh attention to this post I wrote a year ago. It spotlights a feature within the class compiler which is both useful and dangerous. When importing code (e.g. from an XML export of classes received from someone), it's worth considering the risks.
Even if that post doesn't seem relevant to you at the moment you may wish to note it for the future. A handy way of doing this is to click the star icon at the end of it.
This is the second part of my long post about package managers in operating systems and language distributions. Now, hopefully, we have managed to convince you that convenient package manager and rich 3rd party code repository is one key factor in establishing of a vibrant and fast growing ecosystem. (Another possible reason for ecosystem success is the consistent language design, but it will be topic for another day.)
It is not possible in a COS (Caché Object Script) job/process context to have multiple Named Pipes. It is a one Named Pipe per job/process limited line of communication.
Named Pipes, in Caché, like most pipes on most operating systems are Unidirectional. That means you open them for either Read or Write, but not both.
Consider you need to exclude substring(s) from a string.
I did it with the following snippet:
/// excludes all the substrings from the string
ClassMethod ExcludeSubstring(substr,str as %String) As %String
{
while ($L(str,substr)>1) {
set str=$Piece(str,substr)_$Piece(str,substr,2,*)
}
quit str
}
Is there a better way to iterate through all properties of an object than the following? Perhaps without needing to open a definition of the class but directly against the object?

When try the following to send back SOAP Fault, is the following correct way?
Set fault=##class(%SOAP.Fault).%New() Set fault.faultcode=$$$FAULTServer Set fault.faultstring="Processing Error" Set fault.detail= "Error on server" Do ..ReturnFault(fault)
Here you have an easy way to write and execute COS code from your unix scripts. This way one does not need to write routines or even open Studio or Atelier. It can be an option for simple and small actions for instance things like installation tasks or compiling.
See sample bash script (compile.sh) to compile classes:
With a routine like this one, you can quickly calculate how many lines of code you are working with. And it is not only for routines, it works for classes because remember that classes generate routines !
Outlined below is an example of how to check if a directory exists:
Set directoryName="c:\temp\nosuchdir"
/* Check for existence of a directory - Return Value: 0 - directory does not exist; 1 - directory does exist */
Set directoryExists=##class(%File).DirectoryExists(directoryName)
If ('directoryExists) // do the processing for when a directory does not exist
Outlined below is an example of how to check if a file exists:
We're developing Ensemble PoC and one day our frontend developer (who doesn't have Ensemble production running) said that Populate just doesn't cut it and he needs to see the real data. He needed only one object, but the problem was - it's a big object. Still, I checked ids of everything related and wrote this command (parts omitted, but you get the idea):
Process-private Globals can be used as a data global in storage definition. That way, each process can have its own objects for the class with ppg storage. For example lets define a pool, which can:
