Does Minitab have a corollary capability wrt to JMP scripting?

Question

I suspect not based on something I saw Dan Valente contribute in this post

JMP vs. Minitab 2016 Comparison

...but I want to make sure.

Agree with Brady,

Also, it is definitely not like JSL which is a true scripting language which can make functionality in JMP that does not exist. Macros are more of an automation type language.

The macro capability in Minitab does encapsulate many of Minitab's features, although I have doubts that Minitab can be customized to the extent JMP can via JSL. I wouldn't go so far as to call the capability a scripting language, per se.

Here is a page that lists some of the available macro commands. Notably, they do have basic control/branching, conditionals, etc.
