Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): Pro 2015G Sr2
Operating System: Win7Pro

Hello again,

I run into the problem of needing column names longer than the allowed 13 characters to be descriptive (not so much to the user but to other scripts which try to find a column based on a number of parameters).

I understand that the long names may serve this purpose. Since these would need to be recognized from OriginC, it would be necessary to retrieve the column short name from the long name using OriginC code. Is there a function serving this purpose?

In general, the code looking for that column cannot know aforehand whether the desired column exists, is it possible to check the existence of a column by its long name?

Thanks for any help.

Castiel

Hello Castiel,
I have absolutely no idea how to go about doing this. I've been trying to do for a couple of hours, but nothing seems to run on it.

Any guidance is very much appreciated.
Thanks
