How to close multiple JMP data tables without saving?

shmuel_bron

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!

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.

Re: How to close multiple JMP11 data tables?

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

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
