[Douglas M. Preiser]

Intersystems Cache is object oriented. The class methods generate M-like code. The class definitions get stored in globals. Cache class definitions can be mapped to existing global data structures. Once the classes have been defined, the data can be accessed through object methods or SQL.   Good day, Douglas ----- Original Message ----- From: A.

Neither the M Community nor the VistA Community have systematically discussed and propagated OO Concepts applied to information architectures like VistA. Whether or what needs to be part of the M language spec that wouil dbe the task of the MDC. There was discussion of this topic at the lats MDC meetings in 98 and 99. In spite of views to the contrary, this issue can easily be part of the work items of a re-activated MDC if efforts are made to reactivate the MDC. Of course nothing will happen except chit-chat if no one makes any effort and sits Waiting for Godot; Enough Said.
