Question on JMP Row Selection.

[#1]

Can we use the following query

dt = Open("tablename");

r = dt << Get Rows Where(:testid in ('1','2'));

[#2]

there are probably other ways, here's one:

r = dt << Get Rows Where( contains( {"F", "M" }, sex ) );

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23,

24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40]

JMP doesn't have an In() function the way SQL does.

You'll need to test each value individually, like this:

dt = Open("tablename");
r = dt << Get Rows Where(:testid == '1' | :testid == '2');

If you have a lot of values to look for C Hales solution is the way to go.  Works in a similar manner to a SQL IN list.

BTW when is JMP going to put SQL into the product????  PROC SQL has been in SAS for a long time now.

PMroz and Craige@JMP are right.

I misunderstood Craige@JMP's example.

Here's one that might be clearer.

dt=open("$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp");

//get the rows for ages 13 and 17
age13and17=dt<<get rows where(contains({"13", "17"}, char(:age)));

//select those rows
dt<<select rows(age13and17);

Thanks Jeff, that does illuminate the example quite a bit.
