Character Functions
SinH, CosH, TanH
The SinH and CosH functions return the hyperbolic sine and hyperbolic cosine of their respective
arguments. The expression SinH(1) evaluates as 1.175201, and CosH(0) evaluates as 1.0. The TanH
function returns the hyperbolic tangent of its argument. The expression TanH(1) evaluates as 0.761594.
ArcSinH, ArcCosH, ArcTanH
The ArcSinH and ArcCosH functions return the inverse hyperbolic sine and inverse hyperbolic cosine
of their respective arguments. The expression ArcSinH(1) evaluates as 0.881374, and ArcCosH(1) is 0.
The ArcTanH function returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of its argument. The expression
ArcTanH(0.5) evaluates as 0.549306.
Character Functions
You can create a formula that accepts character arguments or returns character strings and converts the
data type of a value from numeric to character, or character to numeric. See the JMP Scripting Guide for
details about syntax.
Char
Produces a character string that corresponds to the digits in its numeric argument. For example,
Char(1.123) evaluates as 1.123. See the JMP Scripting Guide, for details.
Concat ||
Concatenates character strings to produce a new string with the function’s second character argument
appended to the first. For example, "Dr." || " " || name produces a new string consisting of the title Dr.
followed by a space and the contents of the name string. (See also “Concat Items,” p. 464.)
Contains
Returns the numeric position within the first argument of the first instance of the second argument, if
it exists. The second argument can contain one ore more characters. If the second argument does not
exist, Contains returns a zero. For example, Contains("Veronica Layman", "ay") evaluates as 11.
Contains("Lillie Layman", "L") evaluates as 1. The third argument is optional and is a numeric value
that specifies the starting position. If offset is negative, Contains searches backward from offset from the
end of the string.
Munger
Computes new character strings from existing strings by inserting or deleting characters. It can also
produce substrings, calculate indices, and perform other tasks depending on how you specify its
arguments. The Munger function treats uppercase and lowercase letters as different characters.
Text is a character expression. Munger applies the other three arguments to this string to compute a
result.
Offset is a numeric expression indicating the starting position to search in the string. If Offset is greater
than the position of the first instance of the find argument, the first instance is disregarded.
