Label a column via scripting?

[#1]

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

[#2]

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

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.

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

dt << set label columns (:Day #)
