Concanate rows in groups and show them in another column (JSL way prefferred)

Hi,

 

Let's say we have data like this and want to create a new column that in each team concrete these rows.

 

How this can be done in jsl ? Assuming for loop needed to go each row in unique Colum2 and call those rows ?

Attached this data table.

@joshua , try this script.

Names Default to Here(1);

//create data table
dt = New Table( "Team_table",
 Add Rows( 5 ),
 Set Header Height( 46 ),
 New Column( "A",
  Character( 6 ),
  "Nominal",
  Set Values( {"Bob", "Mike", "David", "Hellen", "Karen"} ),
  Set Display Width( 63 )
 ),
 New Column( "Column 2",
  Character( 5 ),
  "Nominal",
  Set Values( {"TeamA", "TeamA", "TeamA", "TeamB", "TeamB"} ),
  Set Display Width( 63 )
 ),
 New Column( "Column 3",
  Character,
  "Nominal",
  Set Values(
   {"Bob | Mike | David", "Bob | Mike | David", "Bob | Mike | David",
   "Hellen | Karen", "Hellen | Karen"}
  ),
  Set Display Width( 106 )
 )
);

// make a list of groups
summarize( grp = by(:Column 2));  //grp = {"TeamA", "TeamB"}

newcol = dt << New Column("Team Members", character);

For(i=1, i<=nitems(grp), i++,
   rowid = dt << get rows where(:Column 2 == grp[i] );
   str =  concat items(dt:A[rowid], " | "); 
   newcol[rowid] = str
);
