JMP Scripting Language (JSL) commands.

Open
The Open command displays a specialized open file window to locate the file you want to open and
specify the file format of the incoming file. The Open window displays information appropriate for the
incoming file type. The Open command directly reads JMP data tables, JMP journal files, JMP script
files, SAS data sets, SAS transport files, text files with any column delimiter, and Microsoft Excel files.
On Windows, it also opens Windows menu files, which are created when you modify the JMP main
menu and save the results (they are saved as .jmpmenu). See “Opening Existing JMP Files,” p. 11, for
details of the Open command.
Open Recent
This is available on Macintosh and Linux only.
Reveals a submenu that lists the JMP tables and scripts most recently opened. When you click a table
name in this list, JMP opens the table. When you click a script name in this list, JMP opens the script.
Some scripts automatically run. To open these scripts without running, hold the CTRL key (hold the
OPTION key on Macintosh) while making the selections.
Close
Closes the active window. It is the same as clicking the close box of the active window.
On the Macintosh, the Close command on the File menu closes the active window. Holding the
OPTION key and selecting File displays the Close All command, which closes all data tables.
Additionally, you can hold the OPTION key and click the close box to close all data tables.
