In some of my worksheets I get a weird effect: I see I have one (or more) X column and several Y columns, but when I ask the column type in a script with

wks.col.type

I always get value 4, i.e. X type. All my columns are X, although 'Y' is shown in the labels of some of them! When I force one of these to 'really' be Y, by commanding

wks.col.type=1;

the selected, BUT ALSO THE X COLUMNS, become Y type! This is a weird effect whose origin I cannot spot. I am using version 6.0 sr2. Any suggestion?

You need to specify the column number when using this notation.

wks.col1.type=; //returns 4 for the X column

wks.col2.type=; //returns 1 for the Y column

If the column based on the user selection, you can use the following:

wks.col$(colnum(%C)).type=;
//colnum returns the column number of the active dataset

Of course, you're right. Some mondays should be obligatory to stay in bed. I was thinking this gives the type for the selected column directly. Thanks for opening my eyes.
