Hi, Mike!

What is a dedicated playlist?

If we have series of video related to one topic we put them in playlists.

Today we have following playlists on DC YouTube channel:

InterSystems: Who We Are - videos which describe our corporate code, who we are, what we do and what matters.

InterSystems iKnow - videos describing InterSystems iKnow technology which helps to build solutions by managing unstructured data.

Atelier - videos, related to InterSystems IDE Atelier.

Global Summit 2016 - videos from last year Global Summit sessions.

Community Projects - videos related to some community projects and solutions presentations. BTW, if you want to describe your solution, tool or a framework in a video we would love to upload it on DC channel in this playlist.

Also, are the video available on a plain hyperlink?

Sure.  E.g. here is the link: Many Data Sources - One Application.

Hi, Russel!

You can always use $name for any operations with  global name, either simple as ^G or with subscripts as "^G(1,"something").

It is intended for this.

In your case it would look like:

set x=$Name(^G)

or you can set global name with subscript, e.g.:

Set x=$Name(^G(1,"second"))

It's very convenient to use indirection operator @ in this case to deal with variable with global name inside.

E.g. you can refer to any subscript with global inside x, like this:

set @x@(1)=2

which would be equal to:

set ^G(1,"second",1)=2

And with your $Order example you can have:

USER> set x=$Na(^G(1,"second"))
USER> set @x@(1)=2
USER> set y=$O(@x@(""))
USER> write y
1
