To change the default conversion method, select File > Preferences (or JMP > Preferences on Macintosh). On the General page, deselect Use SPSS labels for column names during import. Variable names are then imported automatically as column headings.
SPSS can assign certain values in a variable to be treated as missing for analyses. For example, the value 64 could be regarded as missing for a Height variable. Then, the calculation of the distribution of height would ignore values of 64. When you import SPSS into JMP, these values are included in the Missing Value Codes column property for the appropriate variable.
