Equivalent JMP and R Data Types for R Send( ) shows what JMP data types can be exchanged with R using the R Send( ) function. Sending lists to R recursively examines each element of the list and sends each base JMP data type. Nested lists are supported.

A JMP object sent to R using R Send() uses the same JMP reference as the name of the R object that gets created. For example, sending the JMP variable dt to R creates an R object named dt. The colon and double colon scoping operators (: and ::) are not valid in R object names, so these are converted as follows:
• A single colon scoping operator is replaced with a period (.).
For example, sending nsref:dt to R creates a corresponding R object named nsref.dt.
• A double colon scoping operator (designating a global variable) is ignored.
For example, sending ::dt to R creates a corresponding R object named dt.
The R Name() option to R Send() has an argument that is a quoted string that contains a valid R object name. The JMP object sent to R becomes an R object with the name specified. For example:
R Send( jmp_var_name, R Name( "r_var_name") );
R Submit( "print(r_var_name)" )
This example creates a variable x in the Here namespace, a variable y in the global namespace, and a variable z that is not explicitly referenced to any namespace. The variable z defaults to Global unless Names Default To Here(1) is on. These variables are then passed to R.
Here:x = 1;
::y = 2;
z = 3;
R Init(); // initiate the R connection
/* send the Here variable to R
Here:x creates the R object Here.x */
R Send( Here:x );
/* note that the JMP log labels the output with the original JMP variable reference Here:x */
R Submit( "print(Here.x)" );
R Send( ::y ); // ::y create the R object y
R Submit( "print(y)" );
// to use a different name for the R object, use the R Name() option
R Send( Here:x, R Name( "localx" ) );
/* The R Name option to the R Send() command creates the R object named "localx"" corresponding to the JMP variable "Here:x". Again the log shows the original corresponding JMP variable name. */
R Submit( "print(localx)" );
R Send( z ); // z creates the R object z
R Submit( "print(z)" );
