Send Messages to a Platform

Before you can send messages to a platform, you need to create a platform object that you can send the messages to. Use the Send operator (<<).

The following line keeps a reference to a Oneway platform in the JSL variable called oneObj:

oneObj = Oneway( Y( height ), X( age ) );

Then, add the Send operator to send the platform object a message. In this example, the message is to turn on the Unequal Variances report:

oneObj << Unequal Variances( 1 );

To see which messages can be sent to a specific object, do one of the following:

•

Use the autocomplete shortcut. On a new line, enter the object name, then the Send operator (>>), and press Ctrl and space (Windows) or Ctrl and Option and space (Macintosh). The following example shows the messages that you can send to the platform object oneObj on Windows:

oneObj >> (Ctrl+space)

A list of messages appears. Click one to insert it.

•

Use the Show Properties () function. Specify the object in the parenthesis. The following example shows the messages that you can send to the platform object oneObj:

Show Properties (oneObj)

A list of messages appears in the log.
