Native API for IRIS is missing an option to run a simple
Command in ObjectScript as you do from the console or a terminal.
This add-on allows to submit some command line and receive a reply.
The NativeAPI function always requires to have a reply value
So take care to terminate your line with any QUIT
to serve the underlying method. Even if it makes no sense.
e.g. SET ^MyGlobal="I was here" QUIT 1
NativAPI Connection opens a partition as a terminal or a console will do.
So once connected you can deposit there also all kinds of
local variables or PPG as you would in a terminal or console session.
Make sure you have git and Docker desktop installed.
Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

Run the IRIS container with your project:
docker-compose up -d --build
Enter Management Portal / System Explorer / SQL
Define this procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE %Zrcc.X()
LANGUAGE OBJECTSCRIPT
{
set %rcc=##class(%Routine).%New("%ZX.int")
set %rccline="x(%rcc) try {return $xecute(%rcc)} catch %rcc {return %rcc.DisplayString()}"
do %rcc.WriteLine(%rccline)
do %rcc.Save()
quit %rcc.Compile()
}
and execute it
CALL %Zrcc.X()
WARNING: This is a rather dirty hack if there is no other chance
see special description
Use the related client demo for testing
##class(%Net.DB.Iris).Function() has changed and breaks with <PROTECT>
So instead, the function ClassMethodValue() is used to achieve the same result
