The issue you are experiencing with VS Code when trying to import and compile CSP files using the ObjectScript plugin may stem from several possible reasons:
-
Server-Side Editing Configuration:
- The VS Code InterSystems ObjectScript integrated environment is designed to work effectively with server-side editing when configured correctly. If you are attempting to handle CSP files, ensure that the
isfs
mode is configured properly in your workspace settings. This allows the CSP files to be edited directly on the server without needing to download them locally. [1][2]
- The VS Code InterSystems ObjectScript integrated environment is designed to work effectively with server-side editing when configured correctly. If you are attempting to handle CSP files, ensure that the
-
CSP File Compatibility:
- Editing and compiling
.csp
files is supported when the files are part of a web application with a path starting with/csp
and are properly associated with the namespace on the server. If the web application does not meet these conditions, it could explain why changes are not applied. [1]
- Editing and compiling
-
Import Process:
- make sure that your import process works correctly for
.csp
files. If importing these files results in no visible effects, as was noted in some Atelier workflows, it might be that the file associations or namespace mappings between source and server are misconfigured. Align your setup as per the documented relationship between.csp
files and the respective generated.cls
class configurations, adjusting paths and parameters in the code accordingly. [3][4]

-
Role and Access Restrictions:
- Verify that the user account in use has the
%Developer
role since server-side interactions, including importing.csp
files, may require these permissions. Although%All
should suffice generally, access specifics might still cause blocks. [1]
- Verify that the user account in use has the
-
Ability of VS Code Extension:
- The
Import and Compile
functionality in VS Code's ObjectScript extension is specific for UDL-format exports, and it does not natively support direct.csp
file handling for source-level operations unless enhanced by other internal setups explained by best-practices [5].
- The
Recommendations:
- Configure isfs
for server-first file handling for .csp

The issue arises from attempting to deserialize large data in a FHIR Binary resource that exceeds the maximum local string length (3641144 characters). InterSystems IRIS signals a <MAXSTRING>
error when object string data exceeds this limit but commonly offers solutions as follows:
-
ObjectStream Usage:
You can use the%Stream
class (e.g.,%Stream.DynamicBinary
for binary data or%Stream.DynamicCharacter
for characters) to handle very large strings. Change theBinary
class property that currently holds data using%String
format to%Stream
. This avoids exceeding the maximum length in memory and limits signal triggers caused by JSONAdapter calling deprecated%FromStream
at dynamic fields.[1]Re-creation example:

To address the issue with <MAXSTRING>
in the FHIR Binary resource involving Base64 encoded content, the following solutions are recommended:
-
Use Streams Instead of Strings:
Update your code to use stream classes (%Stream.DynamicBinary
or%Stream.DynamicCharacter
) for handling largedata
fields instead of%Binary
(which maps to%String
). Using streams allows handling strings that exceed the maximum length allocated for ObjectScript strings [2][3].This can be implemented by defining a method to set the Binary resource using streams, as shown:
ClassMethod SetBinaryR4(json As %DynamicObject) { Set obj = ##class(HS.FHIR.DTL.vR4.Model.Resource.Binary).%New() Set obj.contentType = json.contentType // Convert large data field to stream Set dataAsStrm = json.%Get("data",,"stream") Set obj.data = dataAsStrm Set obj.id = json.id }
This approach bypasses
<MAXSTRING>
errors by storing the large content (Base64 encoded) in memory-efficient streams [3]. -
Refactor
%GetNext
Usage:
Modify all usages of the%GetNext
method in your adapter classes. The%GetNext(.key, .value)
method triggers a<MAXSTRING>
error if the value exceeds the string length limit. Instead, use the three-argument form%GetNext(.key, .value, .type)
. This ensures that the returned value is a%Stream
object when the content type is"string"
[2][3].Example Update:
While iter.%GetNext(.Name, .Value, .Type) { If .Type="string" { // Handle value as stream } }
-
Workflow for Transformations:
Create a workaround where:- You replace large Base64 strings in the JSON with placeholders.
- Perform DTL transformations excluding large strings.
- Reintroduce Base64 strings using
%Stream
just before submission to the FHIR server [3].
Implementing the above adjustments would eliminate the likelihood of encountering the <MAXSTRING>
error while handling large FHIR Binary resources containing Base64 data.

Your issue seems related to the handling of numeric route parameters in the URL in a
%CSP.REST
dispatcher setup.According to the documentation:
When you define route parameters in a URL by prefixing them with a colon (
:
), these parameters are passed to the corresponding ObjectScript method. The issue might be with the parameter data type in your method definition. Numeric route parameters can sometimes cause unexpected behavior if the parameter types do not align as expected in the method signature. Ensure the route method declaration matches the expected type or uses%String
for flexibility [1][1].It's also recommended that names of REST route arguments in the URL be consistent in order and match the method arguments for proper mapping [3].
For example, your sub-dispatcher has the route
<Route Url="/:id" Method="GET" Call="NewsGetItem"/>
. Ensure theNewsGetItem
method signature correctly handles theid
parameter, such as:This declares
id
as a%String
, ensuring compatibility with URL parameters irrespective of their values [1][1][3].If issues persist, consider debugging as per REST documentation and testing multiple parameter scenarios [1][1][3].
