Namespaces

In InterSystems IRIS, code always runs within a namespace, which is a logical container for data and code. For information on what is available within a namespace, see Namespaces and Databases. For information on namespace names, see Configuring Namespaces.

For ObjectScript commands that accept a namespace name as an argument, you can use an implied namespace name.

In generated code, InterSystems IRIS replaces punctuation characters in explicit and implied namespace names as follows:

% = p, _ = u, – = d, @ = s, : = s, / = s, \ = s, [ = s, ] = s, ^ = s.
