#ObjectScript

I was wondering how you could take an exported obj and have it converted to an int/mac.

Traditional Caché Objectscript has the multi-dimensional array as its main form of complex data structure and the $order command as the main means of traversing said data structures. But newer versions of Caché ObjectScript also have data structures that are direct parallels of what languages such as JavaScript provide, in the form of %DynamicObject and %DynamicArray. These have an easy to use iterator feature via the %GetIterator method, and even a handy built-in literal syntax for constructing new objects.

Is there a way that when you run $system.OBJ.Compileall() that you can make the output written to a file instead of the screen? I am trying to capture all the errors so I can review the code and fix them before we upgrade.

Thanks

In Java we can use reflection to get the method arguments in an array, we can also get the name of argument.

Do we have similar features in ObjectScript?

Thanks!

Good morning,

I was wondering:

Given the following scenario where we have a string where each two items are being splitted by "|" as follows: "squadName|initialLetter"

"Alfa|A|Bravo|B|Charlie|C|Delta|D|Echo|E|Foxtrot|F|Golf|G|Hotel|H|India|I|Juliett|J|Kilo|K|Lima|L|Mike|M|November|N|Oscar|O|Papa|P|Quebec|Q|Romeo|R|Sierra|S|Tango|T|Uniform|U|Victor|V|Whiskey|W|X-ray|X|Yankee|Y|Zulu|Z"

And we would need to generate a String structure like:

I have a repeatable field within HL7 that I want to create a List from. Do I have to initialize the List by using $LB, or can I just use $LI to keep adding on to the end of the list as it is looping through the field?

Hello,

I had an issue when using the method Exists, I noticed that if you provide a directory for this method it returns 1.
This is really misleading, because sometimes the input could be a directory and the only way to predict this is to also test if the file is a directory.

I didn't tested using the Attributes method, but I supposed that this means could also be a solution for that issue.
But still, I expected the Exists method to return 1 for files and 0 for directories, since there's also method called DirectoryExists already.

When using VS Code for Objectscript, is there a way to directly open % classes, like %Library.String, without needing to search for a property of that type and right clicking->"Go to Definition"?

I know it is possible to use "system=1" in the workspace uri definition to see all the % classes, but that tends to clog up the left side viewer with many extra directories. There is also the option in the settings to selectively hide some by defining files.exclude, but it seems fairly complicated to set up a filter for exactly the relevant directories.

Hi all.

I have been using a command pipe to open/run UNIX scripts for months without issue. We recently installed the 2016 Caché Upgrade and now I'm getting the following error when opening the pipe:

<PROTECT> *OPEN[Q](|CPIPE|)

I assume some security or permission setting is to blame, but I'm not sure exactly what. Here's the snippet of code...

s cpipename="|CPIPE|"
s filepath="/path/script"
​o cpipename:(filepath:"R"):10

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I have a custom written date, setup as myDate in my application, which always behaved fine for years, and now it's acting a little weird.

When I run SQL in Display mode the date shows as 1/10/1841 for some but not ALL rows.

When I run the same exact query in logical Mode the date shows normal format, in my case, for example 10/1/2019. When the application is running is shows the incorrect date. When I run the terminal session and open a ref point and ask to write a date is shows 10/1/2019, but I am expecting internal format here - 65287.

Does anyone know how to set an email as High priority when it is sent using a %Net.MailMessage object? Somehow I can't seem to put my finger on it.

Thanks!

Hi folks!

I'm working with a global via Embedded Python as a class method. I init the handler for a global via:

gl=iris.gref("^Global")

What is the way to check the value at index ^Global("x","y")? E.g.:

In ObjectScript I'd do the following:

Hello Community,

I have a queue that I need to traverse and perform operations on. To distribute the workload across multiple processes, I used a Work Queue Manager do process and I'm not expecting any status from it So, I skipped Sync / WaitForComplete in my implementation
