| So you data already reside in a JMP data table, not in a database table. I could not tell that much from your previous posts.
The numeric columns will be included in the matrix. Character data columns will automatically be excluded. The modeling type (nominal, ordinal, continuous), however, will not matter. Only the data type matters for the Get As Matrix message when it is sent to a data table. So if you have a numeric nominal or numeric ordinal column, then it will be included.
You could always manually select the columns that you want, subset them, then use the subset data table for use with the Get As Matrix message. The Table menu commands usually result in a data table with a Source table property that saves the script to make the resulting data table. You can copy this script and use it in your own larger script.
