select your.class_toJson(Colors) from your.class

gives you the expected result . If you prefer  a direct  use of globals, then use

write ##class(your.class).toJson($lg(^your.global(theOID),theSlotNumber))

Cache dies not like an object property as a left side argument,

but you can solve the problem much simpler:

set context.NewID=$tr($j(context.PatientID,10)," ",0)

By the way, if your solution would work, the result would be longer then 10 chars

for example, if context.PatientID=123 then you

would get: "000000123000"

instead of: "0000000123"
