Interrupt a Script

Jun 15, 2011 03:45 PM (3221 views)
Ok, this has happened a couple times to me and I'm not sure what to do in JMP.

I just asked JMP to make me a table with ~260,000 columns in it - JMP didn't like this, but it's not obviously against the rules of JSL so it tried. And tried. And tried - and half hour later I killed JMP (which I was sad about because I hadn't saved the script.

In SAS there's a button I can click to kill script execution if something is wrong. I can do the same in R. Is there some way to interrupt JMP's interpretation of my script while it's reading it?

I've had some success hitting the ESC key.

I've tried that and it does nothing for me. Oh well - could just be that the mistakes I make are un-interruptable.

Just an example of a problem I created for myself this morning.

for(z=100,i >= 10,i--, ... );

This will run forever (and did) and crashed JMP - no amount of hitting ESC or bargaining with the computer would interuppt the infinite loop. Is there no way to terminate such mistakes?
