Is there any ObjectScript or a basic function that takes a string and separates it into words + punctuation/spaces array/list? Just not to reinvent the wheel. Say, process "It is a test, after all" into "It", space, "is", space, "a", space, "test", ", ", "after", space, "all". Or something to that effect.

Creating your own commands or shortcut is one of the strongest features of ObjectScript
If you create your own Language Extensions to ObjectScript you mostly have to find the
proper %ZLANGC00 or %ZLANGV00 or %ZLANGF00 and add the extensions manually.

A few utilities do it already automatically (ZPM, ZME, ..)
This utility allows you to add your extensions also programmatically.

• eg. at first run, or during installation I found this quite useful for my Docker-based demos as it all happens at start time.

This package includes a demo example to visualize the operation of this

Hi Devs!

For me, one of the most painful things about ObjectScript is ##class(Class).Method() typing to call a class method in code or in a terminal. I even submitted an idea to simplify it in ObjectScript.

But! There is a new feature in VSCode ObjectScript that was just introduced to the plugin - Copy Invocation!

Just hover Copy Invocation link above every classmethod in a code, click on it and the invocation is copied to the buffer:

Paste it anywhere you want it to execute!

USER>w ##class(dc.sample.ObjectScript).Test()

Bazinga!

Here is the video that shows how it works.

I have a %GlobalBinaryStream object that I'm trying to save as a local file after being received through a SOAP Web Service.

To do this, I created a %Stream.FileBinary object and wanted to set where the stream copied to this object would be saved by using either the DefaultStreamDir() ClassMethod or the NewFileName() ClassMethod. However, the documentation isn't very helpful on how to use these ClassMethods.

Right now, I have the below code:

set localStream = ##class(%Stream.FileBinary).%New()
set st = localStream.

I have a csp page that is using embedded Runtime Expression (https://docs.intersystems.com/ens201817/csp/docbook/Doc.View.cls?KEY=RC…) and within that expression I am using a $data() modulo 2 to look for root-level data elements (https://docs.intersystems.com/ens201817/csp/docbook/Doc.View.cls?KEY=RC…).

E.g:

#($select($data(^ImportantFlag)#2:"Important!",1:"Normal"))#

However, my modulo sign (#) after the $data() call is seen as the ending tag for the runtime expression resulting in a broken compilation.

I wrote a function awhile back to take Encoded Base 64 and write the PDF out to a file that could be sent to a faxing system to fax out. We are trying to test this code out in IRIS and I am seeing an error that I have not seen before... ERROR #5034: Invalid status code structure

Here is the code...

ClassMethod DecodeBase64HL7ToFile(base64 As

When an object is created in memory, the object reference (OREF) is represented as a string value when displayed with the Write command:

HICG>Set pat=##class(JD.Sample.patient).%OpenId(70)
HICG>Write pat
1@JD.Sample.patient ; "stringified" OREF
HICG>Zwrite pat
pat=1@JD.Sample.patient  ; <OREF>
+----------------- general information ---------------
|      oref value: 1
|      class name: JD.Sample.patient
|           %%OID: $lb("70","JD.Sample.

Overview

Cross-Skilling from IRIS objectScript to Python it becomes clear there are some fascinating differences in syntax.

One of these areas was how Python returns Tuples from a method with automatic unpacking.

Effectively this presents as a method that returns multiple values. What an awesome invention :)

out1, out2 = some_function(in1, in2)

ObjectScript has an alternative approach with ByRef and Output parameters.

Do ##class(some_class).SomeMethod(.inAndOut1, in2, .out2)

Where:

• inAndOut1 is ByRef
• out2 is Output

The leading dot (".") in front of the variable name passes ByRef and for Output.

In this article, we will introduce how to deal with the situation: "I accidentally deleted a global!"

Backup files and journals are used to recover specific globals that have been accidentally deleted. Restoration is performed by specifying conditions and restoring journal records using the ^ZJRNFILT utility In this way, you can apply a point-in-time backup of the database up to and including deleting a specific global for journal records that contain deletions.

We have a function that was written for us that allows us to create text files for logging certain aspects to the OS using %Stream.FileCharacter. We had no issues with this until we moved from AIX to Red Hat.

Now it seems the 1st time the function is called, and the file is created the permissions seem to be correct on the file. But as soon as we attempt to write another line to the file using MoveToEnd() it seems the permissions are changed on the file. I have been able to narrow the issue down to the MoveToEnd() by calling the function from different users.

Hi

I've got a string variable which I need to convert into a XML one.

My main goal here is to use the XML bit I've extracted from a HTML file in a message I need to pass over to an operation.

I'm doing the following which always errors

classMethod WriteNodes(myfile As %String)
{
    Set status=##class(%XML.TextReader).ParseString(myfile,.reader)

....

Any easy way of making this happen?

Kind regards

I'm trying to read the response to a long (indefinitely) running HTTP response with Transfer-Encoding: chunked. Ideally I'd be able to read the individual chunks from the response and do something with them as they arrive rather than needing to wait for the response to finish (because it never will) - ultimately I'm thinking to wrap these back up over a WebSocket connection which seems cleaner from an API perspective.

So far it looks like my options are:

• Extend %Net.

Looking at the documentation, I see that the global ^ROUTINE brings the information and code of the .INT version of the routines. However, I would like to know where the equivalent information of the .MAC version is, as I did not find any reference to this in the documentation.
Some information in the .MAC version are hidden or already converted into the .INT version, and I would like to have access to this information through the system, and not just opening the routine in the studio.

Hey all,

I have been creating a class to handle file encryption by using GPG keys. I pushed my code out today and my encrypt and decrypt methods weren't working. About a half an hour later in troubleshooting I found out that it needed to be a syntax change. My method has three parameters to it. Examples below:

This is how I was calling it in the test system with no issues:

do gpg.Encrypt()

This is how I was having to call it in my production system to work with no issues:

do gpg.Encrypt("","","")

If I was to enter in my production environment do gpg.

Brief

What is Query

Query is a method for finding data that meets the conditions and presenting the results as a data set.

Type of Query

• SQL Query，Using %SQLQuery and SQL SELECT.
• Custom Query，Using Class %Query and custom logic to generate result.

Note: Before we talk about the general Query solution, let's first understand the basics of Query to help understand the implementation principles. If you already know the basic use of Query, please skip this section and go straight to "Challenges".

Hi Community,

I am trying to save data into SQL table but each entry  getting saved twice in the SQL table. Is there any reason data is saving Twice in the SQL table 

I have created a %Persistent class for the fields

Please find the business operation below

Class Patient.DBOperation Extends Ens.BusinessOperation

{

Parameter ADAPTER = "EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter";

Property Adapter As EnsLib.SQL.OutboundAdapter;

Parameter INVOCATION = "Queue";

Method OnMessage(pInput As Patient.PatientDBReq, pOutput As Ens.Response) As %Status
{
    Set Entry=##class(Patient.PatientDBReq).%New()
    Set Entry.

I'm using %XML.Reader  to open an XML file and use it's correlate method to try and convert it to a class.

The conversion fails with an error of:

ERROR #6277: Type attribute, LimitedFreeTextFieldInstance, does not specify valid type for XML input tag: Field (ending at line 3 character 118).

This is the XML

<Fieldsxmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.

Hey all!

I was wondering if anyone had any input on how to troubleshoot classes in a terminal session? I'm currently writing an "adapter" so that way we can encrypt and decrypt files through GNUPG (PGP keys).

I currently have a %RegisteredObject class for this and am running into the excruciating pain of testing this. Every time I make a change on the RegisteredObject I have to renew the class and all of its properties in order to test the newly compiled code that I have written. I know that this doesn't seem like too much of a hassle, but after doing it multiple times it becomes tiring.

I am looking into creating a ZSTOP as you probably have seen from my previous posts, is there a way to capture the type of shutdown that occurred? So say if there was an unknown hardware failure (forced), vs a user shutdown? Mainly looking for user or system shutdown when we force another destination to become the primary in the mirror. So if a user shutdown the production to do.,... Task A, Task B etc..

Thanks

Suppose I created a new DeepSee class to display a new item in the dashboard.

DeepSee.Component.datePick

Wich, in general, is just a copy of a similar class in %ZEN with minor changes. I need to include it in the base install. How can i do this? Am I ever allowed to change the composition of system classes? 

I know this problem something to do with sort and collation and string comparison vs numeric only strings, but I can't fathom out the details of it. 

I have the following global, where all values are suffixed with a space, I believe the intention is to prevent empty strings and force string comparisons rather than numeric. Which is fine when searching for an exact match, so searching for "ABC" internally looks for "ABC ", or "800999" looks for "800999 ". However one function tries to search for strings containing, (specifically beginning with), a partial code.

Hello,

I'm trying to populate an object with method :  JSONStreamToObject

This is an extract from my JSON:

 "GEOMETRIE_POINT": {
    "GEO_TAB_COORDONNES": [
      673993.9987,
      7048087.2013
    ]
  },
  "GEOMETRIE_LINE": {
    "GEO_TAB_COORDONNES": [
      [
        675221.6371,
        7049913.2718
      ],
      [
        675149.6053,
        7049998.3874
      ]
    ]
  }

It work fine with GEOMETRIE_POINT with this class definition:

Class Test.GEOMETRIEPOINT Extends (%Persistent, %JSON.Adaptor, %XML.Adaptor, %RegisteredObject, Ens.

Introduction

This article is intended to be a simple tutorial on how to create ODBC connections and working with them, since I found starting with them a little bit confused, but I had amazing people to take my hand and walk me through it, and I think everyone deserves that kind of help too.
I'm going to divide each little part in sections, so feel free to jump to the one you feel the need to, although I recommend reading everything.
I'm going to use the sample data created in a previous article, Quick sample database tutorial: Samples.PersistentData, with the properties Name and Age.

I am working on setting up our Failover techniques as we move to a Mirror Environment with a Arbiter, 2 Failover Nodes, and a Async (DR) Node. There are some system commands that I would like to call when the Mirror moves, and I am working on a ZMIRROR routine for that, but I also wanted to create an additional step if we wanted to manually shutdown and for the Mirror to move. So I was looking at using ZSTOP to call a couple of different items while shutting down, while the documentation has an example a couple of questions come to mind about using ZSTOP.

I'm wondering how I would go about adding headers to a csv file which has already been created. I am unfamiliar with ObjectScript. 

For example if I were to use R, I would simply write..

test <- read.csv("file/path/example/Extract.csv", header=FALSE)
colnames(test) <- c("A","B","C","D","E")

I do not have embedded Python installed either as I would know how to do it in that also.

How could I mirror this in ObjectScript please?

My current create file method:

Hi,
is there a way to know where IRIS or CACHE current instance is installed from objectscript?

Something like "iris list"

It will be easy to make a $ZF, iris qlist, and get the info, but i hope that there's something less complex than that.

Thanks

Pietro

Is there a way to escape a comma in a comma delimited list? (ObjectScript)

Example: In("Connected, Connected, but issues, Not Connected")

(How) can I escape the comma in the 2nd value?

Thanks,

Brian

The following code snippet uses GZIP to compress/decompress a file. Choose a file by specifying a file path in the "filename" variable.

Class objectscript.GZIP Extends %RegisteredObject
{
	classmethod test() {
		//Export Global(s) uncompressed
		set filename="C:\Temp\myglobal.xml"
		do $System.OBJ.Export("^oddEXTR.gbl",filename)
		//Open exported Globals
		set uncompressed = ##class(%FileBinaryStream).%New()
		set uncompressed.Filename=filename
		Set compressed = "C:\temp\mycomglobal.

At least three different ways to process errors (status codes, exceptions, SQLCODE etc is given in ObjectScript. Most systems have status, but for a range of reasons exceptions are more convenient to manage. You spend some time translating between the various techniques dealing with legacy code. For reference, I use several of these excerpts. It is hoped that they will also support others.

///Status from SQLCODE:set st = $$$ERROR($$$SQLError, SQLCODE, $g(%msg))  //embedded SQLset st = $$$ERROR($$$SQLError, rs.%SQLCODE, $g(rs.

Hi,

I need to add a large number of users to TrakCare.

Is there a programatically way of adding users to TrakCare using ObjectScript?
If so, can you please send me an example.

Thanks
