Introduction
Welcome to the JMP Scripting Language
JMP is written in a language called JMP scripting language, or JSL. JSL scripts let you recreate results and extend JMP’s capabilities beyond data discovery into script creation.
JMP can write the scripts for you so that you do not have to learn JSL. However, if you enjoy coding, you might want to write scripts yourself. Power users often develop scripts to extend JMP’s functionality to automate a regularly scheduled analysis in production settings.
JSL is used to perform many actions:
• implements column formulas
• launches platforms
• interactively modifies platforms
• creates graphics
