Chapter 4 Saving Tables, Reports, and Sessions 109<br />

Saving Data Tables<br />

Saving Data Tables<br />

JMP saves data tables in the formats listed below.<br />

To save data tables:<br />

• On Windows and Linux, select File > Save As to save in multiple formats.<br />

• On the Macintosh, select File > Save As to save as a JMP file (.jmp) and File > Export to save in<br />

Text (.dat), Microsoft Excel (.xls), and SAS Transport (.xpt) formats.<br />

In addition to these file types, JMP can save files for types that have a corresponding ODBC driver. See<br />

“Saving Data Tables to a Database,” p. 113, for details.<br />

The maximum length of the data table’s name depends on your computer’s operating system.<br />

Saving .jmp Files for use in JMP 5.1.2 or Earlier<br />

JMP 8 uses the Unicode character set, which supports special characters such as é and ½. You can save<br />

data tables (.jmp) from JMP so that they can be opened in older applications that do not support<br />

Unicode (such as JMP 5.1.2 and earlier). This works if all of the data table's character data is all<br />

convertible to a legacy character set that the application can read.<br />

There are two ways to do this:<br />

• One way to use options in the Save As window. In Windows, place a check in the Use JMP V5<br />

Format (No Unicode) check box that appears when you select File > Save As. For Macintosh, the<br />

check box is JMP 5 Compatible (without Unicode text). For Linux, the check box is Save Files in<br />

JMP v5.x Format. The file is then saved without Unicode text.<br />

• Another way to save tables so they can be opened by earlier versions of JMP is to disable the<br />

Unicode feature using preferences:<br />

1 Select File > Preferences (Windows/Linux) or JMP > Preferences (Macintosh).<br />

2 Click the General category.
