Scriptable[] or 'send expects scriptable object'

[#1]

Hi,

I've tried many methods of trying to select specific rows with PM#=2 and  Logistic#=1 in my pre-filtered table, but I either get a 'Send expects scriptable object' message, a 'Scriptable[]' and then script termination, or an endless loop.  Can someone please help with what is inappropriate with the syntax that I cannot program the row selection?  Thanks!

lamstationfile=Pick File("choose file","$Documents" );
dt=Open(lamstationfile,
Import Settings(End Of Field( Tab ),Scan Whole File( 1 ), Column Names Start(7 ),Data Starts( 8),));
dt = Current Data Table();

//find data rows
w=NRow(dt);
dt<<Select Where(:Time=="NUM_DATA_ROWS")<<Label(1);
d=dt<<Get Selected Rows;
Show(d);
dt<<Select Where(Row()>(d-1));
dt2=dt<<Subset( Selected Rows(1), Selected columns only(0));
dt<<Select Where(Row()>(d-1))<<Delete Rows;
// Change first two columns to numeric data
Column(dt,1)<< Data Type (Numeric); Column(dt,1)<<Modeling Type("Continuous");
Column(dt,2)<< Data Type (Numeric); Column(dt,2)<<Modeling Type("Continuous");
 

nw= New Window( "What PM?",<<Modal,<<Bring Window To Front,
V List Box( Text Box( "PM#"), pm_in = Text Edit Box("PM#", <<Justify Text (Center)), Spacer Box(Size(25,25))),
H List Box( Button Box("OK", pm= pm_in << Get Text();), Button Box("Cancel", nw<<Close Window)));
nw= New Window( "What Logistic?",<<Modal,<<Bring Window To Front,
V List Box( Text Box( "Logistic#"), wafer_in =Text Edit Box("Logistic#"), Spacer Box(Size(25,25))),
H List Box( Button Box("OK", logis= wafer_in << Get Text();), Button Box("Cancel", nw<<Close Window)));
//take out uneccessary PM data
Show("PM"|| pm);
ColNames = dt << Get Column Names();
colstrings = char(colnames);
match = regex(colstrings, "PM"|| pm);
//Show(colstrings);
found_list={};
close(dt2,no save);
//how can I have it with 2 dt open?
for (i = 1, i <= nitems(ColNames), i++,
if (contains(ColNames[i], match),
ColNames[i]<<Set Selected(1)
//insertinto(found_list, ColNames[i]);
);
);
Column(dt,1)<<Set Selected(1);
//For found_list<<Set Selected(1);
//Show(found_list);
dt3=dt<<Subset( Selected Rows(0), Selected columns only(1));

Num(logis);
Show(logis);
//Logistics column is the last in the table
clos=NCol(dt3);
Show(clos);
Show( Column( dt3, clos )[2] );
 
//dt3<<Get Rows Where(:Column(clos)==logis);  //Method #1
 
dt3<<Selet Where(:Column( dt3, clos ) == Num( logis ));   //Method#2
 
//For(i=1, i=NRows(dt3), i++,    //Method#3
//If( Column( dt3, clos )[i] == Num( logis ),
// Column( dt3, clos )[i] << Set Selected( 1 ));  );
 
 
//For Each Row(If( :Column( dt3, clos ) == Num( logis ), :Column( dt3, clos ) << Set //Selected(1));  //Method#4

@asdf : 
    Attachment (.zip) file is empty - so your data was not provided to test your code and see you error to troubleshoot . 
   In the absence of the actual data you are working with - here lets look at this example . 

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Air Traffic.jmp" );

dt << Select Where(:Airline == "Delta" & :Event == "Arrive"); 

  As you can see - you can select rows where two different conditions on two different columns are being met. 

  In your case - if the PM#=2 and  Logistic#=1 refer to 2 different tables - then you need to join the tables based on common columns for what you are after. 

  If its not either - please provide actual sample data .

Sorry.  The data is now appropriately attached.

Here is a script that covers the first issue in your data table, selecting row after finding "NUM_DATA_ROWS:

lamstationfile = Pick File( "choose file", "$Documents" );
dt = Open( lamstationfile, Import Settings( End Of Field( Tab ), 
Scan Whole File( 1 ), Column Names Start( 7 ), Data Starts( 8 ), ) );
dt = Current Data Table();

//find data rows
w = N Row( dt );
dt << Select Where( :Time == "NUM_DATA_ROWS" ) << Label( 1 );
d = dt << Get Selected Rows;
Show( d );
// A matrix is returned from << Get Selected Rows, so you need to reference d[1]
dt << Select Where( Row() > (d[1] - 1) );
dt2 = dt << Subset( Selected Rows( 1 ), Selected columns only( 0 ) );
dt /*<< Select Where( Row() > (d - 1) )*/ << Delete Rows;
// Change first two columns to numeric data
Column( dt, 1 ) << Data Type( Numeric );
Column( dt, 1 ) << Modeling Type( "Continuous" );
Column( dt, 1 ) << format("hr:m:s");
Column( dt, 2 ) << Data Type( Numeric );
Column( dt, 2 ) << Modeling Type( "Continuous" );

Concerning your selection of columns and then subsetting, I would suggest that you use the builtin column selection tool, "Columns Viewer" rather than building your own selection tool.

dt << Columns Viewer;

Sorry, I should have been more clear.  The problem I am having is with the end of my code after I've created a third data table dt3.  Everything before the last active line of code works fine [getting rows and columns in first data table dt, setting the inputs PM#=2 and Logistic#=1 are fine ].  I just cannot select several rows in dt3 where Logistic# =1 . 

I've tried several different methods as noted in the code excerpt below, but I either get code terminated with 'Scriptable[]' note or 'Send expects scriptable object' error.  I'm not sure where in the below code is preventing it from running appropriately.

//dt3<<Get Rows Where(:Column(clos)==logis);  //Method #1
 
dt3<<Selet Where(:Column( dt3, clos ) == Num( logis ));   //Method#2
 
//For(i=1, i=NRows(dt3), i++,    //Method#3
//If( Column( dt3, clos )[i] == Num( logis ),
// Column( dt3, clos )[i] << Set Selected( 1 ));  );
 
 
//For Each Row(If( :Column( dt3, clos ) == Num( logis ), :Column( dt3, clos ) << Set //Selected(1));  //Method#4

dt3 <<Select Where(:Column( dt3, clos ) == Num( logis )); // There is a typo to start with

I thought that @uday_guntupalli code should work, however in 13.2.1 it would not(strange).  However, using As Column() instead of Column() allowed your specific code to work

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt3 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
logis = "55";
clos = "Height";
dt3 << Select Where( As Column( dt3, clos ) == Num( logis ) );

Thank you for your response. I think that typo only happened when I was transferring the code to the Online Discussion. There wasn't a typo on my computer, otherwise I would have gotten a different error. Also, Method#1, #3, and #4 didn't work for me either. Not sure why.

The data that you attached is a file , I am unable to open .
Can you just provide a small subset of the table you are trying to work with ?
One reason I can think of as to why your row selection doesn't work .

Besides providing sample data set , can you try this ?
dt = Current Data Table();
And then run your selection where dt is the data table you are working with .
If JMP doesn't recognize or has lost the reference of the data table , then irrespective of your approach - the row selection operation will not work .
