Where can I find JSL changes in JMP10

Question

Apologies if this has been answered previously.

I have a set of scripts that work well in JMP9 but not at all in JMP10.  I've seen the listed changes to JSL in the back of the scripting guide, but I was wondering if there is any other resource listing changes in JSL as these don't look like they will apply to my specific problem.

Or will I simply need to debug it myself?

Thanks for any info on other sources of changes in JSL,

Tom

Thanks for this - at least I know I'm not going mad.

Great reply - I particularly like the 'toggle' - I've not used this before, but I'm sure I will in the future.

It would be great to know if anyone else has seen differences like this which could impact on script operation (I had another with subscripting in a display tree but have yet to validate the solution)

I can confirm this. I get the same difference between JMP 9.0.3 and 10.0.1 (Mac). Moreover, JMP 9 shows {3, 0, 0} if selecting the checkbox before disabling it. The special output of 2 and 3 for disabled checkboxes is not documented in the scripting guide as far as I can tell. An abandoned feature or a bug?

Here's an attempt at a workaround that should give identical results in both JMP 9 & 10. If in JMP 9 , 2 is substracted from any disabled check boxes (I also added a toggle function for the enable button for testing purpose).

a = New Window( "test",

Lu1 = Lineup Box( N Col( 3 ) ),

bb1 = Button Box( "Show checks",

L2 = As List(

Matrix( L1 << get ) - (Contains( Left( JMP Version(), 2 ), "9" ) > 0) * 2 * (

Matrix( L1 << Item Enabled( 1 ) ) == J( N Items( L1 ), 1, 0 ))

);

Show( L2 );

),

bb2 = Button Box( "Enable",

L1[1] << enable item( 1, toggle );

toggle = (toggle == 0);

)

);

toggle = 0;

L1 = {};

Lu1 << append( L1[1] = Check Box( "" ) );

Lu1 << append( L1[2] = Check Box( "" ) );

Lu1 << append( L1[3] = Check Box( "" ) );

I've found the problem I was having.  On my PC, the following script will give different outputs under JMP 9 and 10:

a = new window("test",

Lu1 = lineupbox(ncol(3)),

bb1 = buttonbox("Show checks", L2 = L1 << get; show(L2)),

bb2 = buttonbox("Enable", L1[1] << enable item(1,0))

);

L1 = {};

Lu1 << append(L1[1] = checkbox(""));

Lu1 << append(L1[2] = checkbox(""));

Lu1 << append(L1[3] = checkbox(""))

If you click the 'show checks' button under 9 and 10, with nothing checked, you will get L2 = {0,0,0}.  If you then press the 'enable' button, followed by the show checks button again, you will get L2 = {0,0,0} under 10 but L2 = {2,0,0} under JMP 9.

This may not be the best code - but in my situation it was what was needed to get the effect I required - I'm unsure if other ways would be better.
