JSL scripting query regarding jmp table call

I want to call a table which I am using in the current JSL script into another script, is there any way in which I can do that? I have attached snippet of the code, I want to use the dt1_Name (or dt) in another jsl script which I have linked to this script:

dt1_Name= Pick File(
	"Select the JMP MasterFile",
	"", 
	{"JMP Files|jmp;jsl;jrn", "All Files|*"},
	1,
	0,
	"" 
);
Show( dt1_Name ); 
dt = Open( dt1_Name ); 
Show( dt ); 

bwidth = 150;

dt << bring window to front;
box_win = New Window( "Select Columns",
	H List Box(
		Panel Box( "Select Columns", ColListData = Col List Box( dt, All, Grouped,width( bwidth ), nLines( 5 ) ) ),
		V List Box(
			Panel Box( "Case Selected Columns Into Roles",
				Lineup Box( N Col( 2 ), Spacing( 3 ),
					Button Box( "START DATE", colLista << Append( ColListData << Get Selected ) ),
					ColLista = Col List Box( width( bwidth ), N Lines( 1 ), Max Items( 1 ), Min Items( 1 ) ),
					Button Box( "END DATE", colListb << Append( ColListData << Get Selected ) ),
					ColListb = Col List Box( width( bwidth ), N Lines( 1 ), Max Items( 1 ), Min Items( 1 ) ),
					Button Box( "PAY DATE", colListc << Append( ColListData << Get Selected ) ),
					ColListc = Col List Box( width( bwidth ), N Lines( 1 ), Max Items( 1 ), Min Items( 1 )),
					Button Box( "STATUS", colListd << Append( ColListData << Get Selected ) ),
					ColListd = Col List Box( width( bwidth ), N Lines( 1 ), Max Items( 1 ), Min Items( 1 ) ),
					Button Box( "Remove",
						ColLista << RemoveSelected;
						ColListb << RemoveSelected;
						ColListc << RemoveSelected;
					),
					Spacer Box()
				)
			),
			Lineup Box( N Col( 3 ), Spacing( 0, 3 ),
				Spacer Box( <<Set Auto Stretching( 1, 0 ) ),
				Button Box( "OK",
					acol = ColLista << Get Items;
					As Column( acol ) << Set Name( "STARTDATE" );
					bcol = ColListb << Get Items;
					As Column( bcol ) << set name( "ENDDATE" );
					ccol = ColListc << Get Items;
					As Column( ccol ) << set name( "PAY DATE" );
					dcol = ColListd << Get Items;
					As Column( dcol ) << set name( "STATUS" );
					box_win << Close Window;	
					); 
					Close( dt, Save );
					Include("$Desktop/nextstep.jsl");
					
				),
				Button Box( "Cancel", box_win << Close Window )
			)
		)

	)
);

Re: JSL scripting query regarding jmp table call

If your first script looks like this:

Names default to here(1);
a = 1;
::b = 2;

From a second script, notice you can look at the b variable because it has been globally scoped with the :: operator in front of it.

Names default to here(1);
try(show(a));
try(show(::b));

So as long as you define your table variable as globally scoped, you should be able to call it from other scripts.

Depending how you have built your script(s), using Namespaces might work.

Re: JSL scripting query regarding jmp table call

If you start off each script with

Names Default to Here( 1 );

All of the variables etc. in that specific script will be unique to that script, and only that script.
