IF Statement according to user input

UserID16644 — Sat, 10 Jun 2023 20:39:19 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to create a basic script with an IF statement, I'm not that familiar if a CASE statement exist in JMP but what I'm try to do is similar to a case statement.

1. Ask the user to input a number ranging from 1-20 only

2. Create an if statement and execute the command with accordance to the user input

For example: User input : 2

*Executes script inside bracket 2

Can you advise a basic tutorial set that might help with this?

You can try something like this :)

userinput = New Window( "Collect user input",	<<Modal, <<Return Result,
	V List Box(
		H List Box(
			Text Box("Input a number from 1 to 20: "),
			number = Text Edit box("")
		),
		Spacer Box(Size(10, 10)),
		H List Box( Spacer Box( 10, 80 ), Button Box( "OK" ), Button Box( "Cancel" ) ), 
	)		
);

If( userinput["Button"] == -1,
	db << close
);

number_input = userinput["number"];
if(num(number_input) < 1 | num(number_input) > 20,
	New Window("Error!!", Text Box("  Please input a number from 1 to 20 ONLY!  ")),
	if(num(number_input) == 1,
		//DO SOMETHING...
	num(number_input) == 2,
		//DO SOMETHING...
	);
);

You can be a more direct with your user interface. Try this code:


nw = new window("Test",
	panel box("Click the icon to run the program: ",
		lineup box(ncol(2),
			text box("1. Tree Map"),
			button box("", << set icon("TreeMap"),
				<< set function(include("treemap.jsl"))),

			text box("2. Neural Net"),
			button box("", << set icon("NeuralNet"), 
				<< set function(include("NeuralNet.jsl"))),

			text box("3. Model Comparison"),
			button box("", << set icon("ModelComparison"), 
				<< set function(include("ModelComparison.jsl"))),

			text box("4. SAS Pyramid"),
			button box("", << set icon("SASPyramid"), 
				<< set function(include("SASPyramid.jsl"))),
		),
	),
);

You would substitute the appropriate code where I have <include("xxx.jsl")>. To get the various icons use Justin Chilton's Built in JMP Icons addin.
