Private yes/no?
When I open a data table, I can use the option private to hide the data table:
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp", private );
The same feature is also available for table operations like Subset, Concatenate, and so on:
Data Table( "Big Class" ) << subset(1, Private)
Data Table( "Big Class" ) << Concatenate( Data Table( "Big Class" ), Private);
For MFI, there no such option
... up to now, but a strong demand by the community:
Private option for Import Multiple Files
In my Scripts, while debugging, I like to see the data tables, so I added:
//developerIsHere = 1
loadPrivate = If( Is Empty( developerIsHere ),1,0); // default: 1; for debugging automatically set to 0
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp", private(loadPrivate ) );
with the idea:
As a developer, I can execute the developerIsHere = 1
behind the //
then the data table is opened with the option private(0) and I can see the data table and debug the code.
Surprisingly,
Data Table( "Big Class" ) << subset(1, private(loadPrivate ) )
doesn't "work", the table is always opened in private mode - independent of the current value of loadPrivate. Seems that table operations react on the presence of Private - independent of the argument.
Just try the following commands:
current data table() << subset(1,Private(1));
current data table() << subset(1,Private(0));
current data table() << subset(1,Private("has no effect"));
All of them have the same effect - the subset is opened in Private mode.
Hm.
Is there some documentation about the differences between Private and Private?
Is there something less complicated which does the same as:
Eval(Substitute(Expr(current data table() << Subset( 1,__p__)),Expr(__p__),If(loadPrivate,Expr(Private),1)));

Re: Private yes/no?
I think a mess with expressions is only fairly simple option you have
Names Default To Here(1);
DEBUG = 1;
If(IsEmpty(DEBUG),
TABLE_VISIBILITY = "Visible";
, DEBUG == 1,
TABLE_VISIBILITY = "Private";
, // else
TABLE_VISIBILITY = "Visible";
);
dt = Eval(EvalExpr(Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp", Expr(TABLE_VISIBILITY))));
dt_subset = Eval(EvalExpr(dt << Subset(dt, Expr(TABLE_VISIBILITY))));
dt_new = New Table("MyTable", Visibility(TABLE_VISIBILITY));
Show(dt, dt_subset, dt_new);
Maybe if all the messages/functions related to table creation didn't just use <Private>, <Invisible> optional arguments but rather had <Visibility("Visible"|"Invisible"|"Private")> as argument (like new table) something like this could be easier.
