Starting out with ObjectScript, it is really exciting, but it can also feel a little unusual if you're used to other languages. Many beginners trip over the same hurdles, so here are a few "gotchas" you'll want to watch out for. (Also few friendly tips to avoid them)

NAMING THINGS RANDOMLY

We have all been guilty of naming something Test1 or MyClass just to move on quickly. But once your project grows, these names become a nightmare.

Hello my friends,

I have a problem with Objectscript, why the value of address become like this ?

everything works fine except the Address,

this is my code, do I need something to make this into real address ? should I put something in my code ?

set paper=obj.PAADMPAPMIDR.PAPMIPAPERDR

if '$isobject(paper) continue

set Address=paper.PAPERStName

thank you for your help

Best Regards,

How was your READY experience?
We’ve prepared a bingo card — take a look and see how many boxes you can check off!
Cross off the ones that match your experience or list them in the comments.
And if something memorable happened that’s not on the card — we’d love to hear about it! ✨

Here’s a special thread where you can tell a bit about yourself — because connecting and learning more about each other is what makes this community great 💬✨

We had a similar discussion on our old Global Masters platform — you might remember! We’re excited to bring that networking opportunity back to the community.

It helps to remove special characters, such as non-utf-8 characters either control characters or unicode characters from text that is not printable or can't be parsed by downstream systems.
