-What inspired this wish list request? We keep having a problem with imported data not matching JMP's default character set. The problem occurs when we manually create a table and then try to join to existing data and nothing matches.
What is the improvement you would like to see? To be fair, you could argue this is an issue with the source data. However, it is hard to detect as the names can look exactly the same. It would be good if JMP could alert to such a situation and ask which character set to use or automatically convert to JMP default on import, remember the character set, and give user option on which character set to use on export. And/or provide tool in compare data tables that can identify differing character sets, and/or provide function that change character sets.
Why is this idea important? The issue occurs too easily and is hard to detect because there is no visual difference in the characters.
