Contents
Overview
The Preferences command on the File menu (on the JMP menu on Macintosh) displays the Preferences window. See Figure A.2. Each category is described in this chapter.
Changes that you make to preferences are stored in a version-specific JMP.PFS file (for example, in C:Users<user name>AppDataLocalSASJMP10). JMP looks for this file when you open the program and considers your changes to be the factory defaults. And all subsequent changes are stored in this file.
Note: The Reset to Defaults button is on every page of the preferences. Clicking the button on any of the first three pages resets preferences on all of those pages. On the remaining pages, clicking the button resets preferences only on the current page.
General
The General page is initially displayed when you open Preferences. Most General preferences customize your JMP session at start-up. Others set preferences for file-handling and the general appearance of the JMP workspace.

Description
|
|
Import Settings
|
Select the strategy JMP uses to open text files. The default selection is Use these settings. In that case, you need to ensure that the settings reflect your text files.
If you select Use Best Guess, JMP collects statistics in the text file on tabs, commas, blanks, and a few other characters and uses a rule-based system to decide what the file format might be. The rules try to make reasonable field widths and a reasonable number of fields per line. If your data format is too different from what the rules are designed to guess, JMP guesses incorrectly. In that case, either use the wizard or explicitly describe your data in these preference settings.
|
|
End Of Field
|
Select one or more characters to use as the delimiter that signifies the end of a field when importing text data.
Select the Other option and enter a character to specify a delimiter that is not listed.
|
|
End Of Line
|
Select one or more characters to use as the delimiter that signifies the end of a line (row).
Select the Other option and enter a character to specify a delimiter that is not listed.
Note that if double-quotes are encountered when importing text data, the delimiter rules change to look for an end double-quote. Other text delimiters, including spaces, that are embedded within the quotes are ignored and treated as part of the text string.
|
|
Table contains column headers
|
Select this option if your text file contains columns names. If you select this option, enter the line number where the column names are located in the field next to Column Names are on line.
|
|
Column Names are on line
|
If you select the Table contains column headers option, enter the line number where the column names are located in this field.
|
|
Data starts on line
|
Enter the line number where the data starts in your text file.
|
|
When determining column types
|
Set how long JMP scans a text file to determine data types for the columns. The default value is Scan whole file. Note that the Scan whole file option can cause importing a text file to be slow for large files.
When your text file contains columns of missing data, select Treat empty columns as numeric to import the columns as numeric rather than character. A period, Unicode dot, NaN, or a blank string are possible missing value indicators. This option is deselected by default.
|
|
Two-digit year rule
|
Select the rule that you want to use to import dates that use two digits instead of four. For details about these rules, see WHERE Operators.
|
|
Strip enclosing quotation marks
|
Select this option to remove quotation marks that enclose data in the text file.
|
|
Recognize apostrophe as quotation mark
|
Select this option to treat apostrophes as quotation marks. This option is off by default.
This option is not recommended unless your data comes from a nonstandard source that uses apostrophes around data fields rather than quotation marks.

JSL Debugger
The JSL Debugger preferences let you show or hide line numbers, create breaks in scripts, and show warnings.
Figure A.16 JSL Debugger Preferences
|
Preference
|
Description
|
|
Show Line Numbers
|
Shows or hides the line numbers for the script in the debugger.
|
|
Break on Multiple Statements Per Line
|
Stops executing the script between each expression in a single line.
|
|
Break On Throw
|
Breaks when the script executes the Throw() function. For example, Throw() might be enclosed in a Try() expression. The Debugger breaks on Throw() instead of continuing through the rest of the expression. This lets you identify where the problem occurred in the script and then return to debugging.
|
|
Break On Execution Error
|
Stops executing the script when the error occurs rather than closing the Debugger.
|
|
Warn On Assignment In Condition
|
Shows a warning when you enter a breakpoint condition that contains the same variable as the breakpoint. For example, if you have a breakpoint on x = 1 and add the condition x == 1 to the breakpoint, you are prompted to verify the assignment of x.
|
Menu Preferences
The Menu preferences show and hide menus based on how you use JMP. This gives you fewer menu items to browse through and streamlines the JMP interface. For example, if you never design experiments, deselect Design of Experiments. Other menus are grouped by area of interest, such as quality engineering, reliability and survival, and SAS options.
