Working with the Log
As you run a script, the output appears in the log window. The actual script is shaded in the log, and the
output appears beneath it (Figure 4.7).

Syntax errors are reported in the log, including the line number and code that JMP could not process
(Figure 4.8).
Figure 4.8 Syntax Error Message
Open the log by selecting View > Log (Window > Log on Macintosh).
On Windows, you can control when the log opens: when JMP starts, when text is written to the log, or only
when you open it. Select File > Preferences > Windows Specific to change the Open the JMP Log
window setting.
