How to close multiple JMP data tables without saving?

shmuel_bron — Tue, 19 Sep 2017 16:51:59 GMT

JMP11 makes it practically impossible to close many data tables at once. Even if clearly stated that I am not interested in saving any of them ("Save none") JMP 11 takes you to a save-as screen.

This is highly detrimental to work efficiency.

Is there a trick/tip to make JMP11 work similarly with JMP9 in that respect.

Thnx!

Sam

From the Home window click Windows > Close All. Click Save None.

Or from one of the data table windows click Windows > Close All Data Tables. Same prompt - click Save None.

Thank you for your very prompt response.

Unfortunately, the solution you propose does not work. This happens not only on my computer but on everyone’s computer, as far as I know.

I am doing exactly as you said, click on “Save None” and anyways JMP decides by itself that it should force me to save tables one by one – it opens a “Save JMP file as” windowL.

The same happens if I want to close let’s say, 10 out of 20 open data tables.

It is quite annoying and time consuming.

I am very much interested in continuing this thread but apparently in discussions there is no “reply” option for me – this is why I answered you on the email.

Thnx again!

Sam,

I found this add-in on the file exchange....

Close Selected Tables without Saving

Also on Windows>Window Close All Data Tables in JMP 11.2.1 works fine for me.

As far as the "Reply" button....You need to be logged in for that capability to appear.

Very strange - it works fine for me in JMP 10, 11.2.1, 12.1. What version of JMP are you using? Maybe it's time to contact JMP technical support.

Hi Sam,

I'm using JMP 12.1 now, but I remember having this behaviour occasionally in JMP 11.0. I would try to update the Version to the 11.2.1 Lou uses. If there was an issue it seems to be fixed there. In 11.1.1 I coulnd't reproduce the behaviour.

Regards,

Martin

I have 11.2.0 and CTRL-Q or Windows/CloseAll it doesn’t work for me and others either.

I’ve got a jmp add-in that works – here it is Close Selected Tables without Saving<https://community.jmp.com/docs/DOC-7188>

Rgds,

Sam

Martin, thanks a lot (and many thanks to Lou too).

I updated to 11.2.1 and the problem is solved.

In any case, the add-in works too.

Really appreciate your prompt help guys!

Sam,

Thanks for the feedback! Glad the upgrade to 11.2.1 solved your issue.

When you see this behavior, JMP might be running a script with wait() statements that allow some commands to partially work while the script is running. Try pressing Escape and check the log to see if a script stopped.


dt=open("$sample_data\big class.jmp");

dt:name[1] = "x";

while(1, wait()); // terrible programming technique

Martin, I am sorry to say but the problem is NOT solved.

I thought it was but it isn’t. I don’t know why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t but this is …life.

I tried also the escape “trick” suggested by Craige (Thnx a lot!) but it didn’t work either.

Meanwhile the only thing working for sure is the add-in.

Rgds and thanks to all!

I hope JMP12 will behave better.

hi everyone, is there a way to close multiple data tables using script?

the multiple data tables are generated during a script I generated to create analysis and produce a final chart wind/jnr.

Thanks

Sam
