Conventions for Mapping JMP Attributes to SAS Extended Attributes

SAS extended attributes are metadata that you define in SAS code to import information such as table scripts, labels, length, and type. You associate the extended attributes with a data set or variable and define them in name-value pairs, such as _JMP_TABLESCRIPTNAME_2="OnOpen".

This section provides information about SAS extended attributes and their corresponding JMP attributes.
