Big THANK YOU @Jani Hurskainen for sharing your story.
I'm impressed by the progress you made on ObjectScript
after only 1,5 years maybe 30% of working time,

AoC examples are definitely different from the target cases ObjectScript was designed for.
Its top target is the underlaying database, string manipulation and less math functionality.

My best wishes for Health and Success  for the New Year
Robert

Only 2 completed Packages from GitHub >
installed and verified with 2 test sets fulfill requirements.
You have to provide your test data set manually.

•  @Abdul Manan :   see reply

Thank you @Evgeny Shvarov !
I'd like to underline especially the use of  Docker.
My hundreds reviews in OEX wouldn't be possible without it with my limited test environment.
It's not only the option to run various  versions in parallel to my personal setup,
but much more the possibility to clean out all traces and specific settings just with a click.
If you ever tried to remove COMPLETELY an IRIS installation with all traces
from Windows you may understand me.
And with the available templates it is a really easy exercise to compose
your personal customized package with almost no effort and
test it over and over from scratch.

​​​​​​

Suggestion:
you crate your own stored procedure to decide during SELECT
example:

/// Return NEW for first occurance of item 
/// otherwise return OLD
Class User.ItemStat Extends %RegisteredObject
{
ClassMethod NewOld(item As %String = "") As %String [ SqlProc ]
{
    if item="" quit "?"
    if $d(^||list(item)) quit "OLD"
    if $i(^||list(item)) quit "NEW"
}
}

How to use it:

SELECT *, ItemStat_NewOld(item) as Status
FROM items order by 2

Result:

ID	date	  item	Status
1	09/13/1932	A	NEW
2	04/06/1933	D	NEW
10	06/15/1940	A	OLD
4	11/26/1940	A	OLD
6	02/19/1956	B	NEW
8	04/22/1957	D	OLD
7	05/01/1959	D	OLD
9	06/29/1961		?
3	07/04/1992	B	OLD
5	12/08/2020	D	OLD

%ZSTOP routine may log the last user.

But it has no information on an external stopped process. E.g from MGMT portal

Somewhere in your data structure you have a property / Column  of type DATE
the content seems to be a null_string (string of length zero) instead of a real SQL NULL (empty, no value)
My guess:  it's one of the 8 Dob ( Date of Birth ?) named fields
check the related contents  
  

Congratulations and big THANKS @Alberto Fuentes 
 

Similar to previous years I will provide the results of our private leaderboard 

• It will sort by published ranking but separate DC members from "guests"
• The matching of DC members is a manual task 
• if I missed you pls. let me know your identity in AoC by DC mail  to add your DC flag
• due to private issue my updates might show delays sometimes
• 2 test sets with results are available on OEX: AoC2024-test or GitHub: AoC2024_test
• I just added a column to show completion of parts in the exercises
  • -  no part
  • 1 only part 1  (silver star)
  • 2 only part 2 (another silver star)
  • 3 1+2 both parts completed (gold star)

no need for this COPY
if your docker-compose.yml contains

    volumes:
      - ./:/home/irisowner/dev
 

A few questions:

• my local IPv4 address in the ODBC connection
  • in ODBC you have to specify the IP address of the Caché server 
  • there you create the connection FROM YOUR local server
  • by default there's no connection outgoing from Caché
  • No need for your local IP - eventually for some firewalls
• enabling remote access 
  • if you have username + PW from Caché you should have access
  • only some firewalls on server or client may block you
• more important: what OS do you run on server and client ?    
• and what type of connection do you try to establish ?  Web, SuperServer, Terminal, ... ?

To get the property position dynamically by program you may use this ClassMethod
 

ClassMethod PropSeq(classname As %String = "", propname As %String = "")
   As %String [ SqlProc ]
{
    if classname="" set classname=..%ClassName(1)
    set pos=0
    &sql(
        SELECT SequenceNumber INTO :pos 
        FROM %Dictionary.CompiledProperty
        WHERE transient=0
        AND parent=:classname
        AND name=:propname
    )
    if SQLCODE set pos="-1;"_SQLCODE
    quit pos
}

a somewhat 'dirty' approach

select ID, Name_GivenName from Demo.DemoPatient 
where FOR SOME %ELEMENT(Demo.DemoPatient.Aliases) ($LISTFIND(%value,'Twain')>0)

advantage - no need to know the structure of your serial class
risk - false positives for unexpected coincidences.  eg. Washington, John, ...
