New Data View for JSL

msharp — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 17:58:03 GMT

I've recently discovered the awesomeness of Window>New Data View. This allows you to have two screens of a datatable. One datatable, but two instances making it easier to edit in large tables. This would be a great feature if I could also do this with my JSL scripts.

I agree, but I would be equally happy with a split window feature in the script editor. Line bookmarks would be great too (ctrl-F2 to toggle and F2 / shift-F2 to move to next / previous). I thought these were going to be implemented for JMP12 but so far haven't seen them. I mostly use JMP11 so I may have missed it.

JMP 12: right click in the edit window->split horizontal or vertical

My mistake... I forgot split was accessible from the right click menu, in JMP 11 as well (which is what I mostly use) but I don't remember about earlier versions.

Bookmarks would be awesome though.

You can.

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Cities.jmp" );

wait(0);

dt << New Data View();

This just opened up a whole new world for me! Thanks!

Although it would still be handy to be able to move the split screen to a second window.

Thanks for the reply, I see how my OP was a little misleading and this too could be a correct answer. Craig's answer was more of what I was going for. Although, I'd still prefer a second window versus a split screen.
