Hi,

 

I am a new JMP user. I want to create a column with the value from the user input. However, I got trouble getting the value.

There are 3 concerns:

• How can I get the user input and create new column by it? The script cannot run or return any data.
• I try to put create new column outside of New Window command. It instantly create the new columns without carrying any user input into it. How can I solve it? (since I think that JSL will execute the script line by line.

Thanks.

It might be enough if you just change the "," to ";" after your filter = fb << get text(); line

Names Default To Here(1);

//Assign Data Table + Delete Column Flag if it already there
dt = Current Data Table();

//Create new window to get data from user
filter = "";
nw = New Window("Flag Creation",
	Border Box(top(50), bottom(100), Left(50), Right(100)),
	H Center Box(Text Box("Input a single Conditon Bin to Flag")),
	Text Box("Condition:"),
	fb = Text Edit Box("bbb"),
	Button Box("Run",
		filter = fb << get text();
		dt << New Column("Flag", Numeric, "Continuous", Format("Best", 12), Formula(filter))
	)
);

If you want to prevent JMP from continuing script execution when window is open, you can use modal windows for that. Construct a Modal Window (jmp.com)
