InterSystems ObjectScript is a scripting language to operate with data using any data model of InterSystems Data Platform (Objects, Relational, Key-Value, Document, Globals) and to develop business logic for serverside applications on InterSystems Data Platform.
One possible way I already know of is that all fully qualified class names (ie, the package + the class name) start with %, which mean that on installation all classes will end up in the %SYS namespace, but this requires that the install be done as a user with the necessary privileges to write to %SYS.
We are trying to create a simple class extending %RegisteredObject that could be used as a singleton. However we are not able to store it in a global to later be retrieved (by the same process but elsewhere in the code).
For CachéQuality I'd love to be able to create issues when the programmer uses classes which are deprecated for this or that version of Caché... But short of reading all the changelogs of all versions, I can't really tell when a command appeared (for instance RETURN; I know now that it appeared in 2014.x, but it took me some time to realize that), or when a (set of) class(es) became deprecated (for instance %GlobalCharacterStream to be replaced with %Stream.GlobalCharacter -- I don't even know since which version this is true :/).
I have discussed extensively with Andrew Cheshire, the author of the Atelier parser (which I'll be able to hack on and reuse for CachéQuality -- yay!), and while we were at it, we also discussed code coverage.
We ended up talking about the ZBREAK command and its /TRACE option.
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.
