    So, what are scripts? JMP is designed to be very interactive but that's not the only way to work with it. You can also use a script to communicate with JMP in order to complete an analysis or task.

    Scripts are procedural. In other words, JMP evaluates a script beginning with the first line and continuing until the last line. Some scripts require JMP to repeat an action multiple times.

    So, the For function provides the most general form of iteration. This function has four required arguments, and each one is a JSL expression.

Generally, you use this first argument to initialize a variable that you can use as a counter, or index, in each iteration...

JMP evaluates the first argument and interprets it as a Boolean result in order to determine if the iteration should continue. If t...

  • Working with File Paths

    In order for your script to open your data table, it has to tell JMP where to find the table. So, you need to understand how file paths work. The path to a file starts from the root (or disk drive) and continues with the sequence of folders that leads to the folder where the file is saved. So, the sequence reflects the series of folders that JMP has to navigate, starting at the root, in...

  • Using Pick Functions

    Often, you want the script user to be able to choose a directory or file when the script runs. This is how your script can obtain the absolute file path, no matter who's using the script. You can use the Pick Directory function with an optional prompt argument, and JMP will open the Browse for Folder dialog and allow the user to navigate to and select a directory. The optional prompt ap...

  • Opening Data Tables

    So here we're going to see how to use scripts to open JMP data tables. So I'll get a new Script Editor window and I'm going to use the pick directory function to prompt the user when the script runs to navigate to a directory or folder. And I'm going to store that result in the variable myPath. And here notice with the variable name, I'm using an example of what we call camel case where...

  • Importing Data

    When your data are saved in a computer file that's not a JMP data table, you can import it into JMP in order to create a JMP data table. The original source file might be a text file, a Microsoft Excel workbook, or a file saved from a relational database. Whether your data are stored in a JMP data table or some other file format, you use the Open function to access your data. When you u...

  • Example: Importing a Text File

    Let's look at an example. Suppose you have a text file that specifies the column names on the first line and then follows with a row of data on each of the subsequent lines. The values are separated by a character- in this case, a comma. JMP is likely to recognize this common format without help from you but you can force the correct format with optional arguments. The End of Field argu...

  • Saving and Closing a Data Table

    Once your script has imported a data table, or made changes to an existing JMP data table, you probably want to save the table. To do that, you send a Save or Save As message with a path and file name argument to the data table through an object reference. After your script has finished working with the data table, you can close it -- and in fact, it's a good idea to close it if your sc...

  • Overview of Data Columns

    A script often needs to deal with individual data columns and rows. Your variables for analysis are represented by the data columns. The observations for these variables are represented by the rows in the data table. And scripts can act on data columns and rows through object messages, functions, and subscripts.

  • Data Column References

    To send a message to a data column, you have to be able to refer to the column. There are several ways to refer to columns, some of which also return column object references. You can simply refer to a column by name, using the colon prefix to make sure JMP scopes the name as a data column. You can also combine the column reference with a data table reference using a colon too. For exam...

  • Data Column Attributes

    Data columns can have a variety of attributes associated with them. Your script might need to specify these attributes if it's creating new data columns, or it might need to change the attributes of an existing data column. Column attributes include things like the type of data, the modeling type, the format for numeric data, the current values in the column either as literal values or ...

  • Data Column Properties

    In addition to the various attributes, data columns have properties associated with them. A column's properties affect how JMP uses it. Examples of column properties include formulas, notes, range and list checks, value labels, value order, axis specifications, and units. And there are many more properties with specialized applications. We'll illustrate the examples here as messages to ...

  • Tip: Using the Get Script Message to Learn Code

    When you send the Get Script message to any JMP object, what's returned to the log is a script that will create an identical object. So this is a great way to learn the proper syntax. For example, you could add a property to a column interactively, and then send the Get Script message to get the code that creates that property. You can then use that code, or a modified version of it, in...

  • Working with Rows

    Many of the operations you perform on data tables require selecting rows. Selecting rows is often necessary for the desired behavior with analysis and graphing platforms. So if you want to change the row states of some rows to hidden or excluded, for example, you need to select those rows first. Then you would send a message to the data table, and only the selected rows would respond. N...

  • Creating a New Data Table

    You use the New Table function to create a new data table. Because there are no required arguments, you can create an empty, untitled data table by just using the function with nothing in the parentheses. But, there are several optional arguments that you'll typically use. The first unnamed argument is a character string that sets the name of the data table. There are also named argumen...
