Trying to find a function programmed into JMP

Hello,

I am working on a spreadsheet that has a column with a script written into it. The script calls a function by ::FunctionName(col1,col2,col3,col4). I need to edit the function but I cannot find it anywhere in the files, do these get saved somewhere? 

Data TableScriptingRe: Trying to find a function programmed into JMPThe function called "FunctionName" has to have been loaded into the namespace the script is running in prior to it's execution. It is possible that it is loaded at the time JMP starts up, or when the data table starts up. You can look into the
On Windows:
1. C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/SAS/JMP/16
2. C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/SAS/JMP
On macOS:
1. /Users//Library/Application Support/JMP/16
2. /Users//Library/Application Support/JMP
or
if there is a startup during the opening of a data table. Look to see if there is a table script called OnOpenRe: Trying to find a function programmed into JMP

Thanks for the response Jim, I tried searching the directory as there are two different functions that I assume were coded in and called on for the script but neither or them pop up. Can these functions be saved into the .jmp file itself and loaded when the file is brought up?

Re: Trying to find a function programmed into JMP

Extending on @txnelson's answer with couple of extra things.::FunctionName indicates that the function is in global namespace, so it might be a bit more difficult to find the function, but most likely it is in jmpStart.jsl or jmpStartAdmin.jsl files (JMP Help - Run Script on Startup) . Check also the following paths (depends on your JMP version):

On Windows:

1. C:/ProgramData/SAS/JMP/16

2. C:/ProgramData/SAS/JMP

On macOS:

1. /Library/Application Support/JMP/16

2. /Library/Application Support/JMP

 

It might also be saved into an addin as a startup script. I'm not exactly sure when these are executed, but I think the scripts are saved in the addins folder into addinLoad.jsl file (addins can be found from: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\SAS\JMP\Addins\).

It could be as Jim indicated.Check if the datatable has table script named OnOpen (JMP Help - Table Scripts )
