Grouping Columns

Question

Hi Folks,

I'm working on modifying the following line of code. The line of code was generating using the get script command and it works fine.

Group Columns(:Name("Return Loss Worst Margin Pair 1 Near End"), 8);

I would like to generate a code statement that would pass in a variable (input7) that takes this form:

Group Columns(input7, 8);

The code defining input7 is provided below:

dq = Hex to Char("22");
lc = Hex to Char("28");
rc = Hex to Char("29");
input7=Concat(":Name",lc,dq,"Return Loss Worst Margin Pair 1 Near End",dq,rc);

The write command displays the following output for input7:
:Name("Return Loss Worst Margin Pair 1 Near End")

However, when I execute the following code:

Group Columns(input7, 8);

The following error msg is returned:
JMP cannot determine the columns to be grouped from the given script.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Your group columns statement needs a middle argument which is the first of the 8 columns you want to group.

dt << group columns(input7, :My First Column, 8);
