Other and enter a character if the appropriate character is not listed.

Note: If double quotation marks are found when importing text data, the delimiter rules change, and JMP
looks for an end double quotation marks. Other text delimiters, including spaces embedded within the
quotation marks, are ignored and treated as part of the text string.
Save as a SAS Transport File
You can save a JMP data table in SAS transport file format. JMP replaces spaces in filenames and column
names with underscores, converts column headings to uppercase SAS variables, and makes other changes to
follow the transport file specifications.
When you save the data table as a transport file, you can opt to append it to an existing transport file. When
you reopen the transport file in JMP, the two data tables open in separate windows.
Note: The maximum length for the filename is 32 characters. JMP warns that characters beyond that limit
are omitted.
