Hi, Community!
$CASE is a fine syntax sugar for "Ifs" with one-line/one-word expressions, like in docs:
SET daynum=$ZDATE($HOROLOG,10)
WRITE $CASE(daynum,
1:"Monday",2:"Tuesday",3:"Wednesday",
4:"Thursday",5:"Friday",
6:"Saturday",0:"Sunday",:"entry error")But if my expression for a current case is a multi-line business logic? Can I use "{}" somehow or better go with "IF" instead?

Hi, Community!
Have a question for general discussion.
In ObjectScript we have cls for classes and mac code, which both compile into int code.
Is there any reason when you use mac instead of cls for non-persistent classes?
For me the benefits for cls are:
1. Inheritance and other OOP features
2. Auto-documented code
For mac one visible benefit is easier call in terminal:
do method^Utils(p1,p2)

Hi, Community!
Continuous Delivery is a software engineering approach in which teams produce software in short cycles, ensuring that the software can be reliably released at any time. It aims at building, testing, and releasing software faster and more frequently. The approach helps reduce the cost, time, and risk of delivering changes by allowing for more incremental updates to applications in production.
Join us at 07:00 UTC, April 24th for a webinar with a live demo "Git flows and Continuous Delivery" by @Eduard Lebedyuk
