#ObjectScript

During my search for a snapshot of a persistent object,
I met a feature that I would like to share as it could be useful in some special situations.
My trigger was to have a before- and an after-image during unit testing.

Hi Devs!

A few months ago I raised a discussion on the naming convention for ZPM modules.

And you free to put your name or your organization name for the packages you want to have your personal or company's brand.

But if you contribute to community, we suggested to have "community." package for all such libraries.

But the name is too long.

The offer of ZPM is growing daily and the short names and
acronyms of the offer are sometimes hard to understand and
also hard to type with my lazy fingers.

So I decided to have

• a listing with the descriptions from the repository,
• split in short junks to avoid backscroll,
• controlled forward / backward scrolling,
• the option to select my packages by number,
• to install or uninstall with limited typing.

It runs with do ^zpmshow

A snapshot from the screen:

I face the challenge to have a bunch of classes on IRIS and CACHÉ in parallel
until all systems are migrated to IRIS.

Applying changes in Caché development environment and moving to IRIS is no problem

But if I have to apply a fix on IRIS there seems to be no clean way back to Caché.

It's also an example of a customized SystemFunction extension (ZZISJSON) in Caché & IRIS
This time it is to be included in %ZLANGF00.mac

A JSON string is mostly imported from a file or over REST
You rely on a clean and compatible structure. This is the check.

required: ZPretty.mac

demo

t's also an example for a customized command extension (ZZJSON) in IRIS

IRIS has a nice %JSON.Formatter class.
But for debugging it is not really handy.
see:

ZWRITE js1  
js1="{""Name"":""Cunningham,John C."",""SSN"":""294-11-9150"",""DOB"":""1933-01-08"",""Home"":{""Street"":""4249 Ash Street"",""City"":""Tampa"",""State"":""MD"",""Zip"":""30176""},""FavoriteColors"":\[""White"",""Red"",""Green""]}"   

so you proceed for the most simple case

Hi, I am trying to read a field from the second obx segment but it keeps giving me an error.

Following is what I am trying:

I try to run a small test routine (guessing a random number) in WebTerminal but the result looks broken.
in IRISterminal:

in WebTerminal:

I think it relates to backspace.
Is there some special setting required?

The code:

Currently , I am using objectscript in Iris. If I switch the code from objectscript to Java means what are all the steps I need to do?

Hi, folks!

Do you know the option/mode when I can feed multiline code into a terminal?

E.g.

for i=1:1:100 {

/// do one line

///do something else}

Hi Developers!

Set cdef = ##class(%Dictionary.ClassDefinition).%OpenId(table)
Set count = cdef.Properties.Count()
For i = 1:1:count {
Write cdef.Properties.GetAt(i).Name, " ", cdef.Properties.GetAt(i).Type, "", <MY QUESTION>,!
}

How can I do to get maxlen?

Hi, I am doing a stream read so that I can do some inserts to the table however other language read is not supported, any idea what I need to do to achieve this?

Thanks

Hey Developers,

We're pleased to invite you to join the next InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talk: Using Java and .NETon June 16 at 10:00 AM EDT!

In this installment of InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talks, we put the spotlight on extending InterSystems IRIS with your own custom Java and .NET code. We will demo how to create a custom interoperability component with the new Productions Extensions (PEX) feature. Following that, we’ll demo how to call Java or .NET code from any ObjectScript code.
