Has SetMenu syntax changed?

JSL question: SetMenu used to work in older JMP versions, but not in later versions, at least 16 and later. What's an equivalent command - SetMenuItems or SetMenuChoice?

I checked Versions 19, 18, 17 & 16 and in all of them, the Button Box has as messages, both Set Menu Items and Set Menu Choice

Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply. Sorry I wasn't clear - referring to 'Set Menu' by itself, without 'Items' or 'Choice'. We've had just 'Set Menu' by itself in scripts that worked on much earlier versions, but lately, with 16 and higher, 'Set Menu' without an additional command word results in an error. So wondering if 'Set Menu' without appended word is deprecated? Also, I'm not sure in which version a possible deprecation might have occurred, it's probably between 12 and 16.
