A programming language is a formal language that specifies a set of instructions that can be used to produce various kinds of output. Programming languages generally consist of instructions for a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs that implement specific algorithms.
It's a general tag that covers the topics related to programming with InterSystems Data Platform using different languages.
A new Health Connect customer has a few experienced Java folks on their interface team. As they get more into Health Connect and learn Caché ObjectScript they thought it would be useful to have a list of common Java statements with an equivalent statement in ObjectScript. They mentioned string manipulation as an example, but would be interested in other areas as well.
This seems like something that is probably already floating around somewhere. Does anyone have something like this or other "COS jumpstart for Java devs" materials?
Is the default language (i.e., $$$DefaultLanguage, which is used as the basis for localization with $$$Text/etc. at compile time) always "en" for new Caché installations, or could it be different? How is this determined? I don't see an option to select a language during Caché installation.
Also, is there a supported/preferred API for setting the default language? Looking at %occMessages.inc, one option would be:
This morning on the old Caché Google Group, someone posed the following question, which I've decided to answer here, because it's interesting!
Is there a way to iterate ClassMethod's params, and get param's names and values?
The first answer I can come up with is: it's not easy! In any method, you could try to write code like this (where methodName is the name of your method):
I've searched the ObjectScript reference for any instances of Upper, Lower or Case and the only thing is a case/switch statement. In all the documentation I can only find SQL and Cache Basic references for things like UCASE.
