Opening a large number of files in Jmp

Question

Hi Guys,

Is there a limit on how many files I can open in JMP at a given time? I have about 600 files that I am trying to open but when I open them, JMP doesn't do anything.

Thanks.

JMP keeps all data in memory. Your 600 files probably total more than available memory. What do they add up to? Assuming that's the problem you'll have to bring them in a number at a time and then close them before bringing in the next batch. Or get more memory. Or both.

Sorry no even with a script it crashed. Is there any other way to do this?

Ok I could do it with a script, but can I just click on Open files and then do it?
