Control indicator column options using JSL

Tzu-Chun — Fri, 08 Feb 2019 02:48:45 GMT

Hi All,

If I would like to make a multi-response column into indicator columns, the Cols->Utilities->Make Indicator Columns provide column name and missing value options to construct desired columns. How should I contral those two options using JSL?

I have an example from Scripting index

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Animals.jmp" );
dt << Make Indicator Columns( columns( {:season} ) );

However, there is no futher information to control those options.

Any ideas are appriciated : )

Best

Typically, you can refer to the interactive functionality to find how to do this. So in this case, just using the exactly same wording the options can be invoked

dt << Make Indicator Columns( columns( {:season} ), append column name(1), include missing(1) );
