Encrypting and Decrypting Scripts
If you want to protect a JMP Scripting Language (JSL) file, you can encrypt it so only someone who
knows the password can view it; you can also require a password to run it. This is useful in situations
when you want to implement controlled sharing of a script.
To encrypt a script:
1 Open the script you want to encrypt.
2 Select Edit > Encrypt Script. The window shown in Figure 2.28 appears.
Figure 2.28 The Script Encryption Window
3 Assign password(s) to encrypt the files:
– To encrypt a script so that a user can run it without a password, but needs a password to view it,
supply JMP with only a decrypt password.
– To encrypt a script so that a user must enter one password to run it and another password to view
it, supply JMP with both a run and a decrypt password.
Note: The password must consist of single-byte characters; using a text Input Method Editor (IME)
does not work.
The encrypted script appears in a new window, as shown in Figure 2.29.

4 Save the encrypted script.
