JMP > JSL > How to Pass Arguments to Add-In included my own script?

Thierry_S

Hi JMP Community,

 

I am an avid user of John Sall's FDR calculation Add-In (com.sas.sall.fdrpvalue.jmpaddin) in analyzing large biomarker data.

While the manual input of data in this Add-In is straightforward, I have not figured out how to pass arguments from my JSL scripts into this tool.

 

I know that I have to use the Include ("[Add-in]") command to enable the use of the Add-In in my scripts, but how do I point to specific columns generated by my script into the Add-In?

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Best,

TS

I installed the addin from here and looked at the code. I would most likely rewrite it and use functions, but you should be able to use the New Window that the addin creates with something like this:

Names Default To Here(1);

//This will immediately launch New Window with reference fdrDlg
Include("$ADDIN_HOME(com.sas.sall.fdrpvalue)/falseDiscoveryPValue.jsl");

dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
colListLabel << Set Items({"age", "sex"}); //Label Columns
colListPVal << Set Items({"height"}); //PValue Column

//ok button doesn't have direct reference, so we can look for it with XPath for example
ok_btn = (fdrDlg << XPath("//ButtonBox[@title='OK']"))[1];

//to launch we can press ok_btn
ok_btn << Click;
