JSL: How to call outlinebox on calculated string, like: Report(platform)[OutlineBox(parse("Stepwise Fit for " || yparm))]

Hello, i try to call my outlinebox report by substituting with the table variable name (character string) I want to look at.

I first tried without substitution and it worked well.

Then i did:

 

NamesDefaultToHere(1);

yparm = "MyResponse1";

dt = DataTable("MyDataTable");

...

platform = dt << Fit Model( ... , Personality("Stepwise"), ... );
wait(0) ;
TableToGet = Report(platform)[OutlineBox(parse("Stepwise Fit for " || yparm))] ... ;

Which gives:

MeanTableColt51_0-1705397237199.png

 

 

How to tackle this ?

Found,

 

The problem was upstream when calling the Y variable. After solving that one as follows it works:

platform = dt1 << Fit Model(
   /*Y( "Challenge1Sim"),*/
	Y(parse(evalinsert("\[:Name("^yparm^")]\"));),

Try removing Parse

 

Edit:

Simple example

Names Default To Here(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Drug.jmp");
fit = dt << Fit Model(
	Y(:y),
	Effects(:Drug, :x),
	Personality(Standard Least Squares),
	Run Model()
);

ob = Report(fit)[OutlineBox("Residual by Predicted Plot")];
myvar = "Predicted Plot";
ob2 = Report(fit)[OutlineBox("Residual by " || myvar)];

show(ob, ob2, ob == ob2);

// ob3 = Report(fit)[OutlineBox(Parse("Residual by " || myvar))];

Nope, that does not work.

 

I also tried: 

 

[OutlineBox(evalinsert("\[Stepwise Fit for ^yparm^]\");)]

 

 

Did also not work

 

Variable name has special characters, but i would not expect it to be a problem:

 

yparm = "Challenge1+E(N(0,1))";

 

 

Because:  Performing manually:   rmb 'Make into Data Table ' -> open script 'Make into Data Table'

Gives me entry:

 

Report(platform)[OutlineBox("Stepwise Fit for Challenge1+E(N(0,1))")]

And that runs. 

It goes south once i try to do it dynamically.

 

 

Any other suggestions?
