I'm not sure how it should be implemented but I think there definitely should be an implementation for it (column properties are excellent feature in JMP but they are under utilized, in my opinion).
Maybe column specific something like "Select out of spec rows" (right click menu on column header) and then we could have a << Get out of spec rows which could be send to a column which would return missing if spec limits aren't set and empty matrix if they are set but there are no such values. Though, what would happen if we get the multiple spec limits which we have asked for for quite some time?
