Delete rows based upon condition

sam_t

Hi,

 

I would like to use for loop to delete my columns. Below is an example but I have more columsn.

Also, how you treat columns with white space in between like "color size".

Thanks.

 

<BR /><BR />dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp" );


column_list = Words( "heigth", "weight" );

For( i = N Items( column_list ), i > 0, i--,
	dt << Select Where( :column_list[i] > 67 );
	dt << delete rows;
);

I am not sure what you are actually asking for.  Therefore, I am including 2 different scripts.  The first one deletes all of the rows that meet your condition of values > 67.  When you delete rows, it deletes the entire row, so the results of this script deletes all but 2 rows.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp" );

column_list = {"height", "weight"};

For( i = N Items( column_list ), i > 0, i--,
	dt << Select Where( as column(column_list[i]) > 67 );
	dt << delete rows;
);

But what I think you might be trying to do, is to eliminate the values in the columns where the value of height and weight are > 67.  This script replaces the values of height and weight with missing values.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp" );

column_list = {"height", "weight"};

For( i = N Items( column_list ), i > 0, i--,
	SelectedRows = dt << get rows Where( as column(column_list[i]) > 67 );
	column(column_List[i])[Selected Rows] = .;
);
