Zero filling a subset of a JMP table

["James T Metz" <james.metz@abbott.com>]

JMP Users,

        Does anyone know of an efficient way to zero fill a subset of a JMP data table?

        Specifics:

        1)  I have a set of columns which are grouped together and are partially filled
with data.  I would like to fill the remaining cells with blanks so that JMP will read the
zeroes as data, rather than as a missing value.

        Is there an efficient way to do this for several hundred columns?  I know how
to do this for a few columns at a time using formulas for each individual column, but I do 
not know of a way to do this for hundreds of columns.

        I would be most grateful to anyone willing to share ideas how to do this.

        Thank you,
        Jim Metz
