Hi moondream,
Try this...
nrows=512; // decide how many rows you want
set data1 -er nrows; // set the wks to that size
data1_b=data(1,nrows); // fill col B with a data set (may not be necessary)
data1_b=3; // set it to the correct value

Hi Mike,
Thanks alot. I do need "data1_b=data(1,nrows)".
May ask you another question? How can i copy all the B columns in other worksheets to a new worksheet (supposed name RESULT)? Should i use "doc -e w{ }", but how do i avoid to copy the B column of RESULT?
best regards,
moondream |

The name of the wks that is being handled in each iteration of doc -e W can be accessed by the string variable %H. So only do your copying if %H is not RESULT...
doc -e W {
if(%H!="RESULT") {
-- your copy scripts go here --
};
};

Hi, Mike,
I do it like following,
ncol=2;
doc -e w{
ncol= ncol+1;
if (%h !="sumresult"){
%(sumresult,ncol)=%h_b[sumresult_a]}
};
is it right?, it doesn't work. could you tell me what wrong with it?
thanks.

Hi moondream,
It's hard to tell without knowing exactly what you want the script to do and what happens instead (how does it go wrong?), but here are a few things to consider...
1> In order for the script to work, 'sumresult' must already have the correct number of columns. (Based on your other posts in this thread I bet you've set it up properly.)
2> The column index 'ncol' should probably be incremented within the if() statement or you will end up with a blank column in 'sumresult'.
3> 'sumresult_a=;' returns the first value in the dataset 'sumresult_a'. If that value is 3 the command in your if() statement becomes %(sumresult,ncol)=%h_b[3]. Is that what you intended? If not, pls explain what you want to do. Judging from your previous post I thought you wanted to copy the entire col B to 'sumresult'.
Here is how I would rewrite your script based on those points. (I also assume that 'sumresult' is already set up.) I've assigned the wks name to a string variable because it shortens the scripts and makes them easier to change if you decide to rename the wks.
%W=sumresult;
ncol=2;
doc -e W {
// when comparing string variables you must quote both of them
if("%H"!="%W") {
ncol++; // increment ncol
%(%W,ncol)=%H_B[%W_A]; // as you wrote it
-- or --
%(%W,ncol)=%H_B; // if my guess is right (but it seldom is  )
};
};
Does that help you any?

Hi, Mike,
One more question, please.
How could I only copy the columns of the worksheets which are non-minimized?
Thanks
Best regards,

Hi moondream,
doc -e O operates only on non-minimized windows, but you will have to check each window to make sure it's a worksheet. You can do that with the exist() function (look for it under Miscellaneous (Utility) Functions in LabTalk help)...
doc -e O {
if(exist(%H,2)==2 && "%H"!="%W") {
-- your scripts go here --
};
};
