Hello,
I hereby announce the creation of an IRC channel dedicated to Caché development:
* network: FreeNode (connect to server: irc.freenode.net)
* channel: ##cos (yes, two hashes).
Topic is anything related to Caché development in spite of the name (and the fact that of Caché development I only really know about COS anyway), so sorry in advance for the restrictive channel name :)
Waiting for you here! (my nick is idletask on freenode)
Hello everyone,
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.
Hello community!
Two new rules have been implemented:
This rule detects when the body of a method contains two or more of the following statements:
Hello!

In this presentation, developer oriented, we will cover this tool, how it works, how you can use it/administer it, etc. Duration 30 minutes.
The topics will include:
Questions will be more than welcome! Hope to see you there!
And a big thanks to Evgeny Shvarov who made this possible!
When developing or maintaining Caché Objects applications, or even ones written in plain COS code, it's sometimes useful to investigate dependencies. Yuzinji is a tool that analyzes the Caché class dictionary plus the COS code within methods and routines, then feeds its results into Structure101g Studio.
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):
XData blocks in Caché classes has a MimeType property, and dcoumentation says
MimeType — The MIME type (more formally, the internet media type) of the contents of the XData block. The default is text/xml
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.
So how do I do this in ObjectScript?
In the Caché Foundations course, students are learning about Caché Development and ObjectScript syntax at the same time. To help students complete the exercises, we provide an ObjectScript Quick Reference (aka "the Cheat Sheet").
It is not a reference for all of ObjectScript! It is a list of the ObjectScript commands and functions that students use during the course, along with common syntax for objects, collections, etc. It also contains some useful macros.
