Correct syntax for argument in Report ()

Neo — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 11:20:02 GMT

I am on JMP13 and I understand from here that I cannot have multiple outputs from a function unless I use lists. So I have put together the following script and it works as expected.

Names Default To Here (1);
delete symbols ();
clear log ();
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

getDistChart = Function({ColName, _LSL, _USL}, {distChart},

New Window(""||ColName||" distribution",

		distChart1 = dt <<Distribution(
			Stack( 1 ),
			Automatic Recalc( 1 ),
			Continuous Distribution(
				Column( :weight ),
				Horizontal Layout( 1 ),
				Vertical( 0 )
			),
			Local Data Filter(
				Close Outline( 1 ),
				Add Filter( columns( :sex ), Where( :sex == "M" ) )
			)
		);

		distChart2 = dt << Distribution(
			Stack( 1 ),
			Continuous Distribution(
				Column(As Column (ColName) ),
				Horizontal Layout( 1 ),
				Vertical( 0 ),
				Capability Analysis( LSL(_LSL ), USL(_USL) )
			),
			SendToReport(
				Dispatch(
					{},
					"Distrib Histogram",
					FrameBox,
					{DispatchSeg( LabelSeg( 1 ), {Font( "Segoe UI", 7, "Plain" )} ),
					DispatchSeg( LabelSeg( 2 ), {Font( "Segoe UI", 7, "Plain" )} )}
				)
			)
		);

);

op = {distChart1, distChart2};
return (op);

);
dist =  getDistChart ("weight", 55, 185); 
dist1 = dist [1];
dist2 = dist [2];

toPass= Report(dist1)[Outline Box("weight" ), Outline Box( "Summary Statistics" ), Table Box( 1 ), Number Col Box(1)]<< get (1);

However, the following does not work

toPass= Report(dist[1])[Outline Box("weight" ), Outline Box( "Summary Statistics" ), Table Box( 1 ), Number Col Box(1)]<< get (1);

and I am wondering if I am making a mistake in the syntax for using an argument in Report()?

Try adding Eval List inside your function:

op = EvalList({distChart1, distChart2});

I suspect that JMP is interpreting the syntax incorrectly since

report( dist[1] )

is the syntax to reference a second report branch when a second variable or a By is specified in the platform.

I have been able to use a workaround to do what you want, using an Eval() function

toPass= Report( Eval( dist[1] ) )[Outline Box("weight" ), Outline Box( "Summary Statistics" ), Table Box( 1 ), Number Col Box(1)]<< get (1);
