Save JMP Data as a SAS Transport File

You can save a JMP data table in SAS transport file format. JMP replaces spaces in filenames and column names with underscores, converts column headings to uppercase SAS variables, and makes other changes to follow the transport file specifications.

When you save the data table as a transport file, you can opt to append it to an existing transport file. When you reopen the transport file in JMP, the two data tables open in separate windows.

Notes:

The maximum length for SAS transport filenames is 8 characters. JMP warns that characters beyond that limit are omitted.

Images in Expression columns cannot exceed 200 characters, otherwise they are not supported.
