JMP 15 not compatible with JMP14 JSL

[#1]

In JMP14, i am using code

r = dt << Get Rows Where( name("sex") == "M" );

But it does not work in JMP15.

I cannot change code at this point as it is used many places in the code.

have seen previously also with newer releases previous JMP JSL is not compatible, face the issue again.

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
r = dt << Get Rows Where( :sex == "M" );
Show( r );

I've just tested your code:

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
r = dt << Get Rows Where( :sex == "M" );
Show( r );

and I get the same results in JMP 14 and JMP 15.

Here's the log from JMP 14:

/*:
//:*/
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
r = dt << Get Rows Where( :sex == "M" );
Show( r );
/*:

r = [6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 39, 40];

and from JMP 15:

/*:
//:*/
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
r = dt << Get Rows Where( :sex == "M" );
Show( r );
/*:

r = [6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 39, 40];

Can you give us some detail about what is failing for you? Is there an error message?

[#3]

you need to test this: r = dt << Get Rows Where( name("sex") == "M" );
i tested again and got error again as below

Name Unresolved: sex{1} in access or evaluation of 'sex' , sex/*###*/

at line 3 in Scripting Index

Whole code as below

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
r = dt << Get Rows Where( name("sex") == "M" );
Show( r );

My apologies. I missed the difference between the two code snippets in your original post.

However, I tested your code as posted immediately above in JMP 14 and JMP 15 and got the same result in both.

Log from JMP 14:

//:*/
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
r = dt << Get Rows Where( name("sex") == "M" );
Show( r );
/*:

Name Unresolved: sex{1} in access or evaluation of 'sex' , sex/*###*/

In the following script, error marked by /*###*/
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
r = dt << Get Rows Where( sex/*###*/ == "M" );
Show( r );

Log from JMP 15:

/*:
//:*/
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
r = dt << Get Rows Where( name("sex") == "M" );
Show( r );
/*:

Name Unresolved: sex{1} in access or evaluation of 'sex' , sex/*###*/

at line 3 in untitled script 4.jsl

For what it is worth, I get the same results in v13.2.1.  

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
r = dt << Get Rows Where( name("sex") == "M" );
Show( r );
/*:
Name Unresolved: sex{1} in access or evaluation of 'sex' , sex/*###*/
In the following script, error marked by /*###*/
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
r = dt << Get Rows Where( sex/*###*/ == "M" );
Show( r );

You should employ the : scoping operator to the Name( "sex" ) directive if you want to use it as a column name. This form works:

r = dt << Get Rows Where( :Name( "sex" ) == "M" );
