Comparing strings not working for variables

Hi, I am using JMP 15 on Mac. The following code works:

 

dt = current data table();
Current Data Table() << Row Selection(
Select where( (:Stat == "Max"), Current Selection( Extend ))
);

But this doesn't:

dt = current data table();
Current Data Table() << Row Selection(
var = "Max"
Select where( (:Stat == var), Current Selection( Extend ))
);

Can someone explains what is wrong with the second one?

Try moving var = "Max" outside the << Row Selection(). And add missing ;

No change (thanks for your reply though).

Re: Comparing strings not working for variables

Ok I solved it. This is what was missing:

 

(:Stat == (myStat)) 

So, the variable needs to be inside two parentheses!
