Force which data table a report is nested under.

So I'm trying to change which data table a new window() report is nested under and it just seems that it's based on which data table is used first in a report.  Is there a way to force this nesting?

 

Names default to here(1);
dt = open("$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp");
dt << Bivariate(Y(:height), X(:weight));

dt_sum = dt << Summary(
 Group( :age ),
 Mean( :height ),
 Mean( :weight ),
 Freq( "None" ),
 Weight( "None" )
);

//This will nest under dt_sum
new window("Summary First", 
 dt_sum << Distribution( Continuous Distribution( Column( :Name( "Mean(height)" ) ) ) ),
 dt << Bivariate(Y(:height), X(:weight)), 
);

//This will nest under dt
new window("Main First", 
 dt << Bivariate(Y(:height), X(:weight)), 
 dt_sum << Distribution( Continuous Distribution( Column( :Name( "Mean(height)" ) ) ) ),
);

Re: Force which data table a report is nested under.

I don't know whether there is a natural way to do this, but here is a workaround: start with a (computationally cheap, optimally) report from the table under which you want the new table nested, then delete this report if needed:

 

See the change in the last block of code, copied from yours:

 

//This will nest under dt_sum
new window("Summary First", 
 dt_sum << Distribution( Continuous Distribution( Column( :Name( "Mean(height)" ) ) ) ),
 dt << Bivariate(Y(:height), X(:weight)), 
);

//This will now also nest under dt_sum
new window("Main First", 
 dist1 = dt_sum << Distribution( Continuous Distribution( Column( :Name( "Mean(height)" ) ) ) ),
 dt << Bivariate(Y(:height), X(:weight)), 
 dt_sum << Distribution( Continuous Distribution( Column( :Name( "Mean(height)" ) ) ) ),
);
dist1 << delete

Another way would be to use the sib prepend message--but oddly, I'm needing the wait() statement to pull that off. Try it with, and without, the wait() to see what I mean.

//This will now also nest under dt_sum
nw = new window("Main First", 
 rep1 =  dt_sum << Distribution( Continuous Distribution( Column( :Name( "Mean(height)" ) ) ) ),
);

wait();

rep1 << Sib Prepend(
 dt << Bivariate(Y(:height), X(:weight))
);
