Introduction to JSL
What is JSL? Beginning with the release of JMP 4 in 2000, a scripting language became a key feature of the software. The JMP scripting language, known as JSL, consists of various commands that, when put together appropriately, instruct JMP to perform designated tasks automatically.
What is a JSL script? A JSL script is a program that includes a series of JSL commands that process various tasks during a single execution. JSL offers you the freedom to create scripts from the very simple and specific to the most generic and complex.
The following are examples of actions that can be scripted:
● opening a data table
● adding columns
● selecting rows
● creating subset or summary tables
● performing various analyses
● saving data tables, journals, and more
This list is by no means exhaustive. In fact, it is only the beginning!

It might be best to ignore all thoughts of other programming languages that you are familiar with, because JSL is quite distinctive. Please don’t try to figure out what language it is similar to at this point, as it might cause unnecessary frustration and headaches! |
