Embedding a table script into a table that is generated by an embedded table script

SamKing — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 01:46:18 GMT

I have a script that adds some embedded table scripts for graphing. I'm now trying to add another table script that creates a summarized table and embeds a new table script inside that new table.

So the embedded table in dt runs fine, opens dtsum as expected except "secondary table script title" does not embed into dtsum. If I run that portion of the script (CTL+R) then it embeds to dtsum.

Note that I have sanitized the script to hide some company IP stuff. Are you able to see something wrong with my format/structure?

dt << New Script(
	"First level Table script title",
	dtsum = dt << Summary(
				// summary details
			),
	dtsum << New Script(
		"Secondary table script title",
		// graph builder details here
	)
);

Add the table script to dt_sum in same table script as you create the summary. It might be enough if you just replace , with ;.

Names Default To Here(1);

dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
dt << Delete scripts(dt << Get Table Script Names); // has many of these already

dt << New Script("Create Summary", 
	Names Default To Here(1); 

	dt_sum = Current Data Table() << Summary(
		Group(:name),
		Mean(:height),
		Mean(:weight),
		Freq("None"),
		Weight("None"),
		Link to original data table(0)
	);
	
	dt_sum << New Script("Plot",
		Graph Builder(
			Size(528, 458),
			Show Control Panel(0),
			Variables(X(:name), Y(:"Mean(height)"n), Y(:"Mean(weight)"n, Position(1))),
			Elements(Bar(X, Y(1), Y(2), Legend(4)))
		)
	)
);

Looks like your last sentence was correct, I just needed to replace the , with ;

I thought my format was good and that I had something more broken than that, I appreciate the quick response! Thanks!
