COS How to set Ens.StringContainer to String Value


I like to understand how you can set Ens.StreamConainer to a string value. I just see a class for setting the OriginalFilename but nothing for setting the body.

s pRequest = ##class(Ens.StreamContainer).%New()
s pRequest.OriginalFilename = "Test"
d pRequest.Stream.Read(hl7) //Error Out
d pRequest.StreamSet(hl7) //Getting empty string 

Solution

  • If hl7 is a stream:

    s pRequest = ##class(Ens.StreamContainer).%New(hl7)
    

    It hl7 is a string:

    s pStream = ##class(%Stream.GlobalCharacter).%New()
    do pStream.Write(hl7)
    s pRequest = ##class(Ens.StreamContainer).%New(pStream)
    

    Some code advice:

    d pRequest.Stream.Read(hl7) //Error Out

    Read reads from stream, and Write writes to stream.

    d pRequest.StreamSet(hl7) //Getting empty string

    It is a setter method for Stream property. There's no need to call it directly, just set the property.
