Methods (Including Private)

method %OnClose() as %Status [ Language = objectscript ]
Inherited description: This callback method is invoked by the %Close() method to provide notification that the current object is being closed.

The return value of this method is ignored.

method %OnNew(pInitval As %Integer, pGlobalName As %String = "^IRIS.Temp") as %Status [ Language = objectscript ]
Inherited description: This callback method is invoked by the %New() method to provide notification that a new instance of an object is being created.

If this method returns an error then the object will not be created.

It is passed the arguments provided in the %New call. When customizing this method, override the arguments with whatever variables and types you expect to receive from %New(). For example, if you're going to call %New, passing 2 arguments, %OnNew's signature could be:

Method %OnNew(dob as %Date = "", name as %Name = "") as %Status If instead of returning a %Status code this returns an oref and this oref is a subclass of the current class then this oref will be the one returned to the caller of %New method.

method PathGet() as %String [ Language = objectscript ]
Implementation of Path property.
method Read() as %Boolean [ Language = objectscript ]
Reads the next node from the stream. Returns true if the next node was read successfully; false if there are no more nodes to read. When an XmlReader is first created and initialized, there is no information available. You must call Read to read the first node. Each node has a particular type. There is not necessarily a one to one correspondence between the number of nodes in a document and the number of identifiable xml components. For example,the cdata, comment and chars nodes contain textual information which corresponds to their XML equivalent in the document. However a single XML component of type chars may be spread over a number of nodes of the same type. This is entirely due to the way the XML engine processes the document. Therefore if you do a read and the node type is character, for example, then you have to continue reading until the node type changes to ensure that you have seen all the character data.
method ReadStartElement(pName As %String, pUri As %String = "") as %Boolean [ Language = objectscript ]
