Open a .jrp file with JSL, but the open function returns nothing

Hello, I met a problem that confused me so much.
When I open a .jrp file using Open() function, nothing is returned.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
rp = Open("<PATH-TO-FILE>\RxOsnrTol-01-Distribution-By(Temperature).jrp");
Show(rp);


Then in the log window, I got:

{Distribution[], Distribution[], Distribution[]}
rp = .;


By the way, the .jrp file is opened and displays normally. It seems that the only problem is the return value is missing.


The .jrp file is saved earlier with embeded data table.

I'm sure that I used the same code several days ago on some other jrp file, the Open() function returns an object. So I'm able to save its picture.
So I'm confused.

JMP Version: 16.2

If any further information or attachment is needed, please tell me.
Thank you very much.

 

===== Update =====

I attached a very simple example which shows the same problem.

For me, the log shows:

Distribution[]
Open(".\abc.jrp") = ␀;

There does seem to be some inconsistency in the return values from Open().  I don't think this behavior has changed, but I see the same thing that you describe for both .jrp (JMP Report) and .jrn (JMP Journal) files.  While the initial Open() does not return the result, if you call Open() a second time, it will return the top-most box in the already open window:

Show(Open(".\abc.jrp"));
Show(Open(".\abc.jrp"));

Result:

Open(".\abc.jrp") = ␀;
Open(".\abc.jrp") = DisplayBox[HeadBox];

Re: Open a .jsl file with JSL, but the open function returns nothing

We might need more information to address your question. Are you able to open the .jrp file via the GUI with no problems?

@Setsuna , a .jrp file is actually just a special type of .jsl file.  Therefore, you can change the extension from .jrp to jsl and then open the file in JMP an it will open using the Script Editor.  That may also help you understand what a possible problem may be with the file.

@txnelson I tried to change the ext to jsl, and it runs well, and no log or error occured.

By the way, with the code above, I'm able to open the .jrp report normally, the only problem is the Open() function returns nothing.

Sorry that I didn't make it clear in the original post

wow, cool!

Definitely worth to dig deeper and lean from the jsl code!

Yes, with the script above, I can see the report opened normally. The only problem is that the Open function returns nothing.

Can you share the .jrp file with the community?

Thanks for your help. I uploaded a very simple jrp with the jsl code together. For me the problem is the same.

Thanks very much. 

I'm nearly sure that 2 weeks ago, I can get an object with only one Open() function, when I open a .jrp file.

So I guess what you saw with the .jrn files are probably ture
