Implied Namespace

An implied namespace specifies the namespace by system name and directory path. There are three forms:

"^^." for the current namespace. This can be used to change the namespace prompt from an explicit namespace to the corresponding implied namespace.
"^^dir" specifying the namespace directory path dir on the current system.
"^system^dir" specifying the namespace directory path dir on a specified remote system.

For dir, specify a directory path. This is shown in the following examples:

Windows example:

  ZNSPACE "^^c:\InterSystems\IRIS\mgr\user\"
  WRITE $NAMESPACE

Linux example:

  ZNSPACE "^RemoteLinuxSystem^/usr/IRIS/mgr/user/"
  WRITE $NAMESPACE

To return the full pathname of the current namespace, you can invoke the NormalizeDirectory()Opens in a new tab method, as shown in the following example:

   WRITE ##class(%Library.File).NormalizeDirectory("")
