Origin 2017 (64 bit) b9.4.0.220
WIN7

I have worksheet with columns "A" and "B"

wks.addcol(ww) adds a column "C"

in earlier versions Origin used to add a column named "ww"

How do I create a user-defined column name now?

Hi Giselher,

From the latest Origin 2017, Origin adopts the spreadsheet notation (like Excel) for the column name in default.
It makes the column reference easier, but the column short names follow the restriction accordingly. See:
http://www.originlab.com/doc/Origin-Help/Column-Short-Names-Restrict

So, to set the column short name arbitrarily, you need to turn off page.xlcolname property; That is:
page.xlcolname=0;
wks.addcol(ww);
Does this solve the problem?

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed.

To get rid of the error message when using the labtalk script for Origin < Origin2017 I use the line

if %(@V$) > 9.4 page.xlcolname=0;

if(@V >= 9.4) page.xlcolname=0;
