Variations of the SILENT IGNORE Trap

In some cases, JMP makes it very hard for a user (or AI) to debug the code.

Re: Variations of the SILENT IGNORE Trap

From the original post: AI scripting - misleading log ... 

dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
kd = dt << KDTable("hello");
result = kd << K Nearest Rows(1, 3);print("finished");

JMP complains about line 3 : 

Object 'Data Table' does not recognize the message 'K Nearest Rows'

the actual error in line 2 is silently ignored.

Move Table Script: 1st argument must NOT be a variable

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

script_name = "test";
dt << New Script( script_name, "1" );  //no issue with the variable
myGroupName = dt << group scripts( today_str, script_name );
// No issue with the variable - even without a list
dt << Move Selected scripts( script_name, after( "Distribution" ) );
//doesn't understand the variable -> silent ignore
