How do I Create a report header with JSL

Question

Hi All

I'm looking to create header for my JMP reports with information like this

I have all the information in my data table, but can´t get it to any journal or report, please guide me to the code

is it possible to get user input during the script execution like typing user name in a dialog box ?

I managed to get accept limits into the table as variables, using this dialog

but can´t get them into the report

Thanks

Run the below script.  It has a simple input screen, it then creates a header and a simple report output.  Study the script and then you should be able to go develop your own version

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

userInput = New Window( "Enter User Data",
	<<modal,
	V List Box(
		Text Box( "Insert Accept Limits" ),
		Spacer Box( size( 1, 15 ) ),
		H List Box(
			Text Box( "Enter Name for report: " ),
			nameTB = Text Edit Box( "????",
				<<set width( 200 ),
				<<set script( reportName = nameTB << get text )
			),

),
		Spacer Box( size( 1, 15 ) ),
		H List Box(
			Text Box( "Enter Ppk Accept Limit: " ),
			ppkNum = Number Edit Box(
				0,
				8,
				<<SetFunction(
					Function( {this}, /* put my value into my sibling's display */
						(ppkValue = ppkNum << get)
					)
				)
			)
		),
		Spacer Box( size( 1, 15 ) ),
		H List Box(
			Text Box( "Enter Cc Accept Limit: " ),
			ccNum = Number Edit Box(
				0,
				8,
				<<SetFunction(
					Function( {this}, /* put my value into my sibling's display */
						(ccValue = ccNum << get)
					)
				)
			)
		)
	)
);

// Write to the log
Show( reportName, ppkValue, ccValue );

dNumber = "512-4447-AM";
rIDNumber = 18;
nameAndDate = Get Environment Variable( "USERNAME" ) || ", " || Format( Today(), "m/d/y" );

// Create the output with header
nw = New Window( "My Output",

Border Box( top( 10 ), Left( 10 ), Right( 10 ), bottom( 10 ), sides( 15 ),
		V List Box(
			Spacer Box( size( 1, 10 ) ),
			Text Box( "Drawing Number " || dNumber ),
			Spacer Box( size( 1, 10 ) ),
			Text Box( "Report ID Number " || Char( rIDNumber ) ),
			Spacer Box( size( 1, 10 ) ),
			Text Box( "Name & Date " || nameAndDate ),

)
	),
	bivariate( x( npn1 ), y( pnp1 ) )
);
