Qtz HIS

Qtz HIS — A VS Code productivity extension built for IRIS/Caché developers

Note: This extension is actively maintained and continuously updated. The latest release introduces business linkage with iMEDWAY BOS — it automatically detects Git code changes and streamlines adding business changelog entries to the system, eliminating manual update log filling.

Day-to-day development on IRIS/Caché comes with a heavy cognitive load: too many built-in methods to memorize, constant case-sensitivity pitfalls, tedious terminal debugging, painful Git commit log writing, and slow file import/export workflows. Qtz HIS was built to solve all of this — just type what you vaguely remember, and the extension will match and generate the exact code you need. Debug smarter, stay focused on business logic, and say goodbye to inefficient lookups.
