Get Path() only returning the file name?

Oct 23, 2015 04:02 PM (4593 views)

I'm try to get the full path of the "current data table". Get Path() is only returning the file name. Yesterday it was returning the full path and I can't figure out what changed. Help!

I'm using JMP 11.2.0 (64 bit) on Win7.

Thanks,

Tony

Well, have you made the sure the file has been saved?  There won't be a path if there is no file.  All JMP can return is the name.

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

path = dt << Get Path();

Show( path );

dt2 = New Table("test");

path = dt2 << Get Path();

Show( path );

Returns:

path = "C:\Program Files\SAS\JMPPRO\12\Samples\Data\Big Class.jmp";

path = "test.jmp";
