Hi everyone!

I want to share four functions with you. I hope that you can use it at some time.

Problem:

Caché prints to printers in a manner somewhat different from other Windows applications.  Caché sends the data directly to the GDI Printer, without the usual interface.  This is because the GUI in

Hi!

It is often necessary to run some external command such as a python program or a shell script from inside Caché/Ensemble. There are three ways of doing this:

Here is a snippet that I learned yesterday

You can define an index on a collection property but when I tried to use it, I failed. I was using

Hello everyone,

From now till the 25th of december each day 2 programming problems to sharpen your programming skills.

This small function is of great need sometimes. My solution is straightforward:

It was my answer to the question appeared in GoogleGroups. And when I answered there I figured out that it might worth to post an article and to add some light on how Unicode is stored in Caché.

If you are facing out the license expire warning message on your terminal ("*** Warning: This Cache license will expire in 3 days ***") and you do not want that message to be displayed, you can disable/enable that

I wanted to share a little tidbit which is in the Studio documentation (http://docs.intersystems.com/cache20152/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GSTD_Commands#GSTD_Commands_View) but many people who have been using the InterSystems Studio for a long time missed the addition of this *very* useful feature, and every time I mention this to an audience  I see at least one face light up because of how excited they are to learn about it!

Within Studio, the Output pane (View -> Output) is actually misnamed.  It is actually an Input/Output window which can be used to run Caché ObjectScript commands!  

I understand this is a rather broad topic (and at times involves religious sentiments) yet I would like to look at it from the Caché perspective:

In this article I would like to tell you about macros in InterSystems Caché. A macro is a symbolic name that is replaced with a set of instructions during compilation. A macro can “unfold” in various instruction sets each time it is called, depending on the parameters passed to it and activated scenarios. This can be both static code and the result of ObjectScript execution. Let's take a look at how you can use them in your application.

When working at the Caché command prompt I sometimes want to run an operating system command on the server host.

Recently I was conducting a remote support session with a site. The desktop they were sharing with me was on a PC configured with German as the native language.
