In addition to one or more primary data sets, many of the analytical processes in JMP Genomics require the specification of an Experimental Design Data Set (EDDS) that lists information about how the data is organized and presented. The Create Array Index process is a JMP Scripting Language (JSL) script that sequentially indexes each row in a data table, assigns an array index number for each row, and lists the index numbers in a new Array column.
The data table to be indexed must be open and in focus before you open the Create Array Index process. The drosophilaaging_design.txt file, shown as an example below, was generated from the drosophilaaging exp.sas7bdat file (found in \Sample Data\Microarray\Scanalyze Drosophila). It was saved in the Sample Data folder, and opened using File > Open.
For detailed information about the files and data sets used or created by JMP Life Sciences software, see Files and Data Sets.
Refer to the Create Array Index output documentation for a detailed description of the output of this process.
