How to choose/activate open but not saved data tables back and forth

saitcopuroglu — Thu, 26 Feb 2015 20:01:28 GMT

During automated report script I create many summary tables which I don't save. Since the last created table is active and any -let's say Graph Builder- graph will be produced from the last produced active table, how do I activate/choose an inactive but open data table?

A simple example is:

dt1 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

dt2 = Open(

"$SAMPLE_DATA/Fitness.jmp",

Select Columns( "Name", "Sex", "Age", "Weight" )

);

Graph Builder(

Title Fill Color( "Light Blue" ),

Title Frame Color( "Medium Dark Gray" ),

Level Fill Color( {174, 203, 228} ),

Level Frame Color( "Medium Dark Gray" ),

Level Underline( 1 ),

Variables( X( :Sex ), Y( :Weight ) ),

Elements(

Bar(

Legend( 2 ),

Bar Style( "Side by side" ),

Summary Statistic( "Mean" ),

Label( "Value" )

)

);

I would like to keep graphing but with the Big Class Data Table where the Fitness data table is active/chosen...

Thank you in advance for your help

dt1<<graph builder(...)

if you don't specify a table, the "current" table is used. You should always specify a table since the current table changes when you click on a different table or open another table.

<< is the operator to send a message to an object. A data table is an object, and it understands messages that look like launching platforms.
