You can edit (or enhance) the above code to give you all matching elements. Below I share a code with you where you can choose the result data type (%List or %String) and the result scope (all the matching elements or just the first match).

/// Find common items of two lists or in two delimited strings
/// (as used in a $piece-function)
/// 
/// itm1: first list (as %List or comma-delimited %String)
/// itm2: other list (as %List or comma-delimited %String)
/// ans : 0 = return a comma-delimited %String with the first match found
///       1 = return a comma-delimited %String with all matches found
///       2 = return a %List with the first match found
///       3 = return a %List with all matches found
///       
/// return value: according to <ans> argument
///       
/// Hint: the "$d(var)," part is only needed if the <itm1> argument is
///       of %List type and can contain an "undefined" element like the
///       second element in $lb(11,,33).
///       
ClassMethod FindCommonItems(itm1, itm2, ans = 0)
{
    set ptr=0, res="", all=ans#2
    set:'$lv(itm1) itm1=$lfs(itm1) set:'$lv(itm2) itm2=$lfs(itm2)
    
    while $listnext(itm1,ptr,val) { if $d(val),$lf(itm2,val) { set res=res_$lb(val) quit:'all } }
    quit $s(ans<2:$lts(res), 1:res)
}

There arises two questions.

First, why do you use a class where the documentation starts with "This class is used internally to hold property/field values needed for computed fields"?
Another word for classes which are marked as "used internally" is, that this classes can be changed (altered in its behavior) without any notice or documentation in one of the next versions. That's definitelly not what you want.
 
Second, what is your real problem (where you think, it's only solvable by using that %Library.PropertyHelper class)? Can you post (and describe) your real problem?

Two notes to your (above) code

- first, if you use the iterator method on an object which can contain long strings (longer what IRIS can handle) then you must specify the thrid argument to the %GetNext() method too, i.e.

while iterator.%GetNext(.key, .value, "stream") { ... }

- second, if you know the name and location of a stream property in an JSON object, like in your case, then just grab the data without using an iterator:

try { set jsonobj = {}.%FromJSON(httprequest.HttpResponse.Data) } catch { jsonobj=0 }
if jsonobj, jsonobj.statusCode = 200 {
   set pdf=jsonobj.value.labReport.%Get("pdf",,"stream<base64")  // according to the picture you provided
   ... // do something with the pdf-stream
}

For another example, how to work with long strings see this thread.

You have right, do {code} and do {code} while expr are mutually exclusive.

I thought more something like this do {{code}} (no spaces between curly braces) or, as you suggested, a new keyword like WRAP {...}, of course, BLOCK {...} and SCOPE {...} are also acceptable.

By the way, we already have an alternative for argumentless DO
do {code} while 0
It looks ugly and confusing and
- does not preseve $T
- does not establich a new stack level
but one can get over both easily respective do a work-around.

Oh, I see, at the very first use of a (new) private global,  the storage is decremented (on my  machine) by 768 bytes. I think, that bytes will hold some management data for each provate global (name).

Try the above line. Maybe you have issued one or more "set variable=..." commands between the two "write $storage" statements in your tests...

In general, $extract() and $zstrip() are your friends.
If you want to strip ONLY the LAST character, then use this

set data="abc,,"
set $extract(data,*)=""
write data --> abc,

If you want to strip ALL (same) trailing characters, use this

set remove=","
set data1="abc,"
set data2="abc,,,"
set data3="abc,,-,,"
set data1=$zstrip(data1,">",remove)
set data2=$zstrip(data2,">",remove)
set data3=$zstrip(data3,">",remove)

write data1 --> abc
write data2 --> abc
write data3 --> abc,,-

Maybe you didn't read it carefully enough...

/// the documentation say clearly:
///
/// %request.Data(itemName, itemIndex)
///
set vProfile1 = $Get(%request.Data("profile",1)) // the first value
set vProfile2 = $Get(%request.Data("profile",2)) // the second value
/// etc.

/// or you use a loop
///
kill value
ser value=0
set idx=$order(%request.Data("profile",idx))
while idx]"" {
    set value($increment(value))=%request.Data("profile",idx)
    set idx=$order(%request.Data("profile",idx)
}

/// value = item count
/// value(i) = i-th value

If you know which record is locked (i.e. ^My.Global(123) ) then you can identify the locking process (and therefore the user) in a simple method

Class DC.Lock Extends %RegisteredObject
{
/// For a given (global) reference
/// return the (exclusive) locking processID and username
/// 
/// ref: a global reference, for example: $name(^My.Global(1,2,3))
/// 
/// For other lock types (shared, remote)
/// use the infos obtained by info_types OWNER, MODE, FLAGS and COUNTS, see
/// https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=RCOS_slock
/// 
ClassMethod Who(ref)
{
    if ^$LOCK(ref,"MODE")="X" {
        set pid=^$LOCK(ref,"OWNER")
        if pid {
            set job=##class(%SYS.ProcessQuery).%OpenId(pid)
            quit {"pid":(pid), "usr":($s(job:job.UserName,1:""))}
        }
        
    } else  { quit {} }
}
}

For example:

set ref=$name(^My.Global(123))
lock +@ref:1
if '$test {
    // in case, the node is locked,
    // check up, by who is the node locked
    set who=##class(DC.Lock).Who(ref)
    write who.%ToJSON() --> {"pid":"2396","usr":"kav"}
}

A few lines of code and you have your own object cloner

Class DC.ObjCloner [ Abstract ]
{
/// obj: Cache/IRIS or a Dynamic(JSON) Object
/// 
/// For simplicity, JSON-Types null, true, false, etc. are ignored
ClassMethod Clone(obj)
{
    if $isobject(obj) {
        if obj.%IsA("%DynamicAbstractObject") {
            if obj.%IsA("%DynamicObject") { set new={},arr=0 } else { set new=[], arr=1 }
            set iter=obj.%GetIterator()
            while iter.%GetNext(.key,.val) {
                set:$isobject(val) val=..Clone(val)
                do $case(arr, 1:new.%Push(val), :new.%Set(key,val))
            }
            quit new
            
        } else { quit obj.%ConstructClone(1) }
    } else { quit "" }
}
}
Class DC.Import Extends (%Persistent, %JSON.Adaptor)
{

Property thingone As %String;
Property thingtwo As %String;
ClassMethod Test()
{
	// create a test stream
	set myStream=##class(%Stream.TmpCharacter).%New()
	do myStream.Write("[{""thingone"":""Red"",""thingtwo"":""Green""},{""thingone"":""Blue"",""thingtwo"":""Yellow""}]")
	
	// convert input (JSON) stream into a JSON object
	set data={}.%FromJSON(myStream)
	
	// loop over the JSON-Array and import each array element into your database
	for i=0:1:data.%Size()-1 {
		set obj=..%New()
		set sts=obj.%JSONImport(data.%Get(i))
		if sts set sts=obj.%Save()
		if sts continue
		write "Error: i=",i,", reason=",$system.Status.GetOneErrorText(sts),!
	}
}

Of course, instead of "myStream" you should use your REST-input stream.

do ##class(DC.Import).Test()

zwrite ^DC.ImportD
^DC.ImportD=2
^DC.ImportD(1)=$lb("","Red","Green")
^DC.ImportD(2)=$lb("","Blue","Yellow")

Shouldn't be a problem, $ZTZ isn't the only thing you can change.

Whatever value or setting you change, $namespace, $zeof, $horolog, etc. you have to consider a simple rule, if you change things (which can be used by subsequent routines, methods, etc.) for your own use, then after using them, you have to restore them to their original value. That's all.

YouRESTorWHATEVERmethod()
{
  set oldZTZ=$ztz
  set $ztz=<your preferred value>
  ...
  set $ztz=oldZTZ
  return
}

You can change the Timezone system variable

//  for example EST (Eastern Standard Time, 5 hours behind UTC)
    set $ztz = 300
//  you can even consider daylight saving
//  for example CET (Central European Time, 1 hour ahead of UTC)
#define DSTOFFSET	-60
#; -60=CET, 300=EST
#define LOCALZONE   -60
    set $ztz = $$$LOCALZONE+$s($system.Util.IsDST():$$$DSTOFFSET,1:0)
    

Setting $ZTZ affects the current job only (the job, which sets $ztz), so there is no danger for other processes.

If you want, for whatever reason, to compute the CRC of a Stream then write an short method like this (or use this):

/// Input : str - a sting or a stream
///         typ - CRC-Type (0..7, See ISC documentation)
///         
/// Output: crc-value
/// 
ClassMethod CRC(str, typ = 7)
{
    i $isobject(str),str.%IsA("%Stream.Object") {
        d str.Rewind() s crc=0
        while 'str.AtEnd { s crc=$zcrc(str.Read(32000),typ,crc) }
        ret crc
        
    } else { ret $zcrc(str,typ) }
}

Where is the problem?
