Label a column via scripting?

I'm trying to label a column via JSL, but all I can find help for is Code to label specific rows based upon conditions. I've tried a couple approaches but was thinking this would work, but it doesn't...

dt:Column("Day #") << Set labelled; or dt:"Day #" << Set labelled

To set the Label property for a column, use the following

dt << set label columns (:Day #)

Re: Label a column via scripting?

The correct message is Label. The opposite effect uses the Unlabel message. Send the message to the data column, not the data table.

Re: Label a column via scripting?

Hi Mark,

This should be straight forward, but somehow I'm not able to get the Unlabel to work.

Can you please help enlighten me?

 

dt = Current Data Table();

//Works fine to Label
:name("ID") << Label;
:name("ID") << Set Labelled;
dt << Set Label Columns( :ID );

//Doesn't work to Label
:name("ID") << Set Label;

//Doesn't work to use Unlabel
:name("ID") << Unlabel;
:name("ID") << Set Unlabel;
:name("ID") << Set Unlabelled;
dt << Set Unlabel Columns( :ID );

Thanks!

names default to here(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/big class.jmp");
:name << label(1);

wait(5);

:name << label(0);

Look in the Scripting Index for syntax for items like this.
