You may take a look at my example.  
You can run ObjectScript as in a terminal and receive a reply.
But it is invoked out of Python. external  or embedded

PR is merged OK

• native-api template  was broken since May
• I have fixed it for the contest with this Pull Request
  • Build for Java is ok
  • CLASSPATH is adjusted to the changed location in IRIS install
• Python is also available
• Node.js has some version and resource issues. It is out-commented now
• .NET is also somehow sick and breaks build. Also out-commented The rest builds and starts ok.

Good point !

None of my machines fit. Ivy Bridge is not on your list.
Would this mean IRIS 2023.* is the last version I can use without major investments in hardware?

???
be more specific

the code fails already for start year 1924  <NULL VALUE>
and is in principle wrong   🙁

From my IBM-360-Assembly programming times in the late 60ties

If your code is running hard,
apply a switch to make it smart
 

instead of strange constructs that are hard to follow,
I would just take the pragmatical way and add a param SUPER=0

Class SubClass Extends MyClass
{
  ClassMethod Foo(SUPER = 0 )
  {
   if SUPER  do ##super() quit
  . . . . . 
      do ##super() // <----
  }
}

The efficiency is evident also to less sophisticated programmers

 

You may place  a PRODLOG at WRC;
And it might be changed in some future release. 

Congrats! 
I suspected the error to be outside SQL
👍

Are you sure the  2nd parameter of the stored procedure is of type %String(MAXLEN="")  without length limit?

ERROR: - OK

which error ??   pls. be specific with all details

hint for SQL Escaping

but test in SQL Shell shows no problem

Congratulations!   $INCREMENT always works!

Congratulations You could finally work around the issue.!

Simplified:
WIJ is the on-disk image of your modified buffers.
If buffers are changed they get updated on-disk by an asynchronous background process.
The modified date is typically the last modification at file close.
writing modification date at every file update as you expect will break every file system.

Transposing your expectation to a text editor would mean to update the file and date at every new line:
I suppose you would be disappointed by the related performance reduction.

Though, from personal experience, this seems to be the standard operating style of almost every government.😉

after I called the label a second time

pls. check ^TEST or ^TEST2 before the 2nd call
if it isn't starting with a number it throws <ILLEGAL VALUE>
I see no obvious reason in your code why it should NOT be Numeric.
so in your test loop you may do a "write ^TEST,! " to check this condition
