Do Command

You just saw examples of some ObjectScript commands. Let's start with Do, which you use to run code. You just saw do ##class(ObjectScript.RightTriangle).Main() which ran the Main() class method. For another demonstration, let's look at the system routine that displays database free space, %FREECNT. You run it by using Do, making sure to place the ^ (caret) character before the name of the routine. In the example below, %FREECNT displays the freespace in the USER database only.

In addition, you can run code within a routine (called a procedure) by referring to the label/tag of the line where the procedure begins within the routine. You place the label right before the caret. In the example, the ALL procedure of %FREECNT displays the free space for all databases.

InterSystems IRIS system routines that start with the % character can be called from any namespace. Routine names and labels are case-sensitive.
