JSL script to create or condition by looping thorough column names in a list

OrdinaryParrot2

I'd like to create a function in jsl that takes a given list of column names as input, uses those columns to do a OR condition, and outputs a column with that looping OR formula. How do U do that? 

 

input_col_list = { "a", "b", "c"};
input_dt = dt;
x = 0.1;
input_dt << New Column("d", numeric, continuous, 
formula ( 
If(
(As Column("a") >= x  |  As Column("b") >= x  | As Column("c") >=  x), 
1,
0
) 
));

For above, I would like to make a function like below: 

my_func =
Function(
{input_dt, input_col_list, x},
{//local var},
// function body
...
Return As column("d")
);

Here is an example of one way to do it.......others may have more eloquent ways

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = 
// Open Data Table: Big Class.jmp
// → Data Table( "Big Class" )
Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

my_func = Function( {input_dt, input_col_list, x},
	{input_dt, input_col_list, x, the_cmd},
	input_dt << New Column( "d" );
	current data table(input_dt);
	the_cmd = "current data table():d << set formula( If(  current data table():\!"" ||
	Char( input_col_list[1] ) || "\!"n >= " || Char( x );
	For( i = 2, i <= N Items( input_col_list ), i++,
		the_cmd = the_cmd || " | current data table():\!"" || Char( input_col_list[i] ) || "\!"n >= "
		 || Char( x )
	);
	the_cmd = the_cmd || ", 1, 0) );";
	Eval( Parse( the_cmd ) );
);

input_col_listx = {"Height", weight};
dtx = Data Table( "big class" );
xx = 101;

theReturn = my_func( dtx, input_col_listx, xx );
