Book description
Learn the essentials of the JMP Scripting Language with this beginner’s guide.Written in an easy-to-understand style based on the authors’ extensive experience, Jump into JMP Scripting, Second Edition teaches beginner scripters how to take advantage of the robust JMP Scripting Language (JSL) using step-by-step instructions and real-world situations. The authors demonstrate how JSL offers the freedom to create scripts from the very simple and specific to the most generic and complex.
With a new chapter on JSL language foundations, the first half of the book explains the fundamentals of JSL and walks you through creating your first scripts, such as opening a data table, adding columns, or selecting rows. A new chapter on the Dashboard and Application Builders provides helpful tips on creating custom dashboards and learning how to build applications. Also new to this edition, a chapter on advanced topics introduces more helpful tools and concepts in JSL. After learning the basics, you are ready to tackle specific tasks using JSL. The second half of the book provides more than 50 examples using a unique question-and-answer format.
This book is part of the SAS Press program.

Chapter 8: Rows, Columns, and Tables
- Question 8.1: I can manipulate a data table interactively, such as by selecting and deleting rows, by adding new columns, and so on. How can I get JMP to produce the script for these actions?
- Question 8.2: How can I select rows where more than one condition is true? How can I select rows where at least one of the specified conditions is true?
- Question 8.3: There are already rows selected in my data table. How can I select additional rows without deselecting any of the currently selected rows?
- Question 8.4: How can I select from the currently selected rows?
- Question 8.5: How can I perform a Select Where on numeric datetime values?
- Question 8.6: How can I determine the number of selected, excluded, or hidden rows in a data table?
- Question 8.7: I am attempting to select some rows, and then create a subset data table. When no rows are selected, all the rows are included in the subset data table. How can I create a subset only if there were rows selected?
- Question 8.8: How can I determine the number of selected columns in a table? How can I get a list of the selected columns? 201
- Question 8.9: I want to delete all the character columns in a data table. How can I do this?
- Question 8.10: Are there any JSL commands for recoding data, as in Cols ► Recode?
- Question 8.11: I have a set of values that I want to use as the control limits for a data table column. How can I use these values to create the Control Limits column property?
- Question 8.12: How can a character column containing datetime values be converted to a numeric column of JMP date values using a script?
- Question 8.13: I can replace all the missing numeric values in a table with zeros interactively by performing Edit ► Search ► Find and Replace. How can I do the same procedure using scripting?
- Question 8.14: How can I delete the formula from every column in my data table?
- Question 8.15: How can I use a variable in a new column with a formula?
- Question 8.16: How can I add multiple columns with formulas in a loop? I want one new column for each continuous column that calculates the mean by a grouping column
- Question 8.17: How can I get a list of all open data tables?
- Question 8.18: How can I open and concatenate multiple files that have the same format?
- Question 8.19: I have imported several files and performed some data cleanup. How can I concatenate all the open tables without knowing exactly how many tables are open?
-
Chapter 9: Dialog Windows
- Question 9.1: How can I prompt the user to select columns to be used in an analysis?
- Question 9.2: How can I stop a script if a user clicks the Cancel button in a dialog window?
- Question 9.3: How can I prompt the user to select a file in a specific directory? I want to display only those files of a specific type, such as text
- Question 9.4: Can a wildcard character be used to open several data tables that contain specific characters in the filename? 228
- Question 9.5: How can I can prompt the user for information, and then use that value in the SQL string for extracting data from a database?
- Question 9.6: How can I prompt the user to select starting and ending dates, as well as a title to be used in a report?. 232
- Question 9.7: How can I populate a Combo Box based upon what a user selects in another Combo Box, and then generate a subset table that meets the selection criteria?
- Question 9.8: How can I use Column Switcher to affect multiple graphs in the same window?
- Question 9.9: Is it possible to show or hide a display box based upon a user’s prior selection in the same window?
- Question 9.10: Why does the Excel Wizard open when I import data from my New Window?
- Question 9.11: When I try to limit the columns shown in a Col List Box to numeric, no columns appear. Why?
-
Chapter 10: Analyses
- Question 10.1: How can I save the Parameter Estimates table from my Bivariate analysis into a new data table?
- Question 10.2: How can I save the Parameter Estimates table from my Bivariate analysis into a new data table when I am using a By variable?
- Question 10.3: I am using the Neural platform and need to add the Prediction Profiler to the Neural report. How can I do this? 252
- Question 10.4: How do I use global variables for limit values in a Control Chart script?
- Question 10.5: For a control chart, how do I request that JMP open and use a table of saved limits rather than those limits calculated at run time?
- Question 10.6: How do you save limits from the Control Chart analysis into the column property?
- Question 10.7: How do you save limits from the Control Chart analysis into a new table?
