Isn't it easier to use the built function StringMin, especially when its the code does exactly the same thing?

USER>w $length(##class(%PopulateUtils).StringMin(100,100))
100

Source code:

ClassMethod StringMin(
  minlen As %Integer 1,
  maxlen As %Integer 1As %String ProcedureBlock = 1 ]
{
 if maxlen '< minlen {
   set len=$$$PRand(maxlen-minlen+1)+minlen,
       string=""
   for i=1:1:len {
     Set charn=$s($$$PRand(2):$$$PRand(26)+65,1:$$$PRand(26)+97),
         string=string_$s(charn<123:$c(charn),1:" ")
   }
   quit string
 else quit "" }
}
Class dc.demo Extends %Persistent
{

Property ChildPrice As %Library.Float;

ClassMethod Test()
{
  ;d ##class(dc.demo).Test()

  ..%KillExtent()
  obj=..%New()
  obj.ChildPrice=2.56
  obj.%Save()
  
  &sql(select ChildPrice into :ChildPrice from dc.demo where %ID=1)
  ChildPrice,!
}

}

My result:
USER>##class(dc.demo).Test()
2.56

What will be the result you have?
Also check the settings for the format of the data types in your tool (DbVisualizer, Caché Monitor, WinSQL, SQuirreL SQL, etc.), in which you make a selection.

    The following code has been tested on versions 2015.2 and 2017.2:

        d $System.Status.DisplayError(sc)
      else {
        rs.%Display()
      }
    }
    }

    It also can be solved.

    The behavior of zenPage.launchPopupWindow depends on the setting useSoftModal.

    Play around with %OnUseSoftModals in the following example:

    Class dc.demo Extends %ZEN.Component.page
    {
    
    XData Style
    {
    <style type="text/css">
    .modalGroupCloseButton {

      filteralpha(opacity=20);
      opacity: 0.2;
    }
    .modalGroupCloseButtonHover {
      background-colorgreen;
    }
    </style>
    }
    
    XData CSS3Style
    {
    <style type="text/css">
    .modalGroupCloseButton {
      background-colorred;
      opacity: 0.2;
    }
    .modalGroupCloseButtonHover {
      background-colorred;
    }
    </style>
    }
    
    XData Contents [ XMLNamespace "http://www.intersystems.com/zen" ]
    {
    <page xmlns="http://www.intersystems.com/zen">

    </page>
    }
    
    ClientMethod showModal() [ Language = javascript ]
    {
      if (!this.isPopup) {
        zenPage.launchPopupWindow(window.location.href,'DEMO MODAL','center=yes,resizable=no,width=320,height=240');
        
        var els=document.body.getElementsByClassName('modalGroupClose');
        if (els.length>0) els[0].onclick=zenPage.onhideGroupHandler;
      }
    }
    
    ClientMethod onhideGroupHandler() [ Language = javascript ]
    {
      if (confirm('[1] Are you sure you want to leave?')) {
        var modalGroup=zenPage.modalStack[zenPage.modalStack.length - 1];
        modalGroup.hideGroup();
      }
    }
    
    ClientMethod onunloadHandler(e) [ Language = javascript ]
    {
      var message "[2] Are you sure you want to leave?";
    
      if (typeof == "undefined") {
          e window.event;
      }
      if (e) {
          e.returnValue message;
      }
      return message;
    }

    Yes, checked and it works in IE11 (see screenshot).
    In addition, you can find in the file zenutils.js the following code:

    if (zenIsIE && (!(((typeof zenIsHTML5 != 'undefined'&& zenIsHTML5) && ((typeof document.documentMode != 'undefined'&& document.documentMode==9)))) {
      <...>

      window.document.body.onbeforeunload function(event) { return zenPageEventHandler('onunload',event); }
      <...>
    }

    Googling "onbeforeunload не работает" or "onbeforeunload javascript not working".

    Client Side Callback Methods for the Page

    ///  This client event, if present, is fired when the page is unloaded.
    ///  If this method returns a string value, then that is used as the

    ///  one component returns a string, the first one encountered is used).
    ClientMethod onunloadHandler() [ Language = javascript ]
    {
      return 'Are you sure you want to leave?';
    }

    The following query produces zero results:

    select bar.name from foo join bar on bar.id %INLIST MyBars

    This is because MyBars is stored as a $lb($lb(id1),$lb(id2),...,$lb(idN)), and you try to query the data stored in the form $lb(id1,id2,...,idN).

    Your query need some change to make it work, namely:

    select name from foo join bar b on $listbuild(b.%ID) %INLIST MyBars

    For passing array by reference try to use the class $system.WorkMgr instead of job.

    Sample:

    Class demo.test Abstract ]
    {
    
    ClassMethod Test(arrayAs %Status
    {
      ^CacheTempUser.dbg
      ^CacheTempUser.dbg($zp)=array
      ^CacheTempUser.dbg($zp,"$j")=$j
      q $$$OK
    }
    
    }
    
    demo()
      queue,arr
    
      arr(1)="qwe"
      arr(2)="asd"
      
      "$j = ",$j,!
      queue=$system.WorkMgr.Initialize("/multicompile=1",,1)
      queue.Queue("##class(demo.test).Test",.arr)
      queue.WaitForComplete()
      
      zw ^CacheTempUser.dbg
      q

    Result:

    USER>^demo
    $j = 7600
    ^CacheTempUser.dbg(8488,1)="qwe"
    ^CacheTempUser.dbg(8488,2)="asd"
    ^CacheTempUser.dbg(8488,"$j")=8348
    "$ZTZ=",$ztz,!
    
    #define 2utc(%t) $tr($zdt($zdt($zdth($system.SQL.TOTIMESTAMP(%t,"YYYYMMDDHHMISS"),3),-3),8,1)," :")
    
    s t="20160105125915"
    "Winter time: ",t," -> ",$$$2utc(t),!
    
    t="20160705125915"
    "Summer time: ",t," -> ",$$$2utc(t)

    Result (GMT+02:00, Chisinau):

    Winter time: 20160105125915 -> 20160105105915
    Summer time: 20160705125915 -> 20160705095915

    Note:

    • Takes into account summer/winter time
    • Is taken into account to option of OS for automatic daylight saving time

    For example, if in the OS to disable automatic daylight saving time, the result will be different:

    USER>^test
    $ZTZ=-120
    Winter time: 20160105125915 -> 20160105105915
    Summer time: 20160705125915 -> 20160705105915

    In addition to the above.

    Fill the array tArray can be charged a method %ListOfDataTypes:BuildValueArray().
    But I still prefer the next option (unless you count every tick of CPU :) ):

    list=##class(%ListOfDataTypes).%New()
    list.InsertList(tInputList)
     
    ; method #1
    key="" {value=list.GetPrevious(.key)while (key'="")
     
    ; method #2 (better way)
    key=list.Size:-1:1 value=list.GetAt(key)

    You can fix this error directly now, if you don't want to wait for the release of version 2018.1.1.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. make export the locale "deuw"
      %SYS>Locales("deuw")="" d $system.OBJ.DisplayError(##class(Config.NLS.Locales).ExportList("loc_deuw.xml",.t,.Locales)) zw Locales,t
    2. fix the file loc_deuw.xml (by default located in the folder %CACHEHOME%\Mgr)
      Name of subtable
      (Where to insert)
      New lines
      (That to insert)
      Add the following lines to the appropriate subtables:
      COL-German3-Unicode <FromToItem FromToKey="55,55,1">83,83;</FromToItem>
      <FromToItem FromToKey="55,55,2">7838;</FromToItem>
      <FromToItem FromToKey="55,55,3">83,7838;</FromToItem>
      COL-Unicode-German3 <FromToItem FromToKey="7838">55,55;2</FromToItem>
      <FromToItem FromToKey="83,83">55,55;1</FromToItem>
      <FromToItem FromToKey="83,7838">55,55;3</FromToItem>
      LowerCase-Unicode-Unicode <FromToItem FromToKey="7838">223</FromToItem>
      UpperCase-Unicode-Unicode <FromToItem FromToKey="223">7838</FromToItem>
    3. import fixed loc_deuw.xml:
      %SYS>d $system.OBJ.DisplayError(##class(Config.NLS.Locales).ImportAll("loc_deuw.xml",.t,1+2+4)) zw t
      %SYS>d $system.OBJ.DisplayError(##class(Config.NLS.Locales).Compile("deuw"))
      %SYS>Locale^NLSLOAD("deuw")

      Just in case, restart Caché.

    Now, run a small test

    #include %systemInclude
    #include %occErrors
    #include %syNLS
    test() public {

        "Error "ex.DisplayString(),!
      }

    There is a method $system.Memory.Clean(<cleancache>, <defragment>), but unfortunately it appeared only with version 2011.1.

    Try this code (consider that LONGVARCHAR = %Stream.GlobalCharacter) Read a CLOB through JDBC:

    try
    {
      ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      Statement st = dbconn.createStatement();
      ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("Select ID,Text from eprinstance.isegment");
     
      while (rs.next())
      {
        int len;
        Reader reader = rs.getCharacterStream("Text");
        while ((len = reader.read()) != -1)
          bos.write(len);
     
        System.out.println(bos);
     
        reader.close();
        bos.reset();
      }
     
      bos.close();
      st.close();
      rs.close();
     
      System.out.println("OK!");
    } finally
    {
      dbconn.close();
    }

    I didn't know that Caché allowed to use JOINs without specifying FROM.

    JOIN or SELECTOptional FROM Clause?

    But it should be noted that for JOIN not all usages are supported, for example:

    Supported:

    SELECT * FROM 
      
    (select 'aaa' Column1,'bbb' Column2 union select 'ccc','ccc' union select 'xxx','yyy' union select 'hhh','zzz'Table1
    LEFT OUTER JOIN
      
    (select 'ggg' Column1,'hhh' Column3 union select 'xxx','zzz'Table2
    ON Table1.Column1=Table2.Column3

    Not supported:

    SELECT * FROM 
      
    (select 'aaa' Column1,'bbb' Column2 union select 'ccc','ccc' union select 'xxx','yyy' union select 'hhh','zzz'Table1
    INNER JOIN 
      
    (select 'ggg' Column1,'hhh' Column3 union select 'xxx','zzz'Table2
    USING (Column1)
