Hi,

I tried to assign the name of a file column saved in a string to a dataset but it doesn't work.

getfile *.ASC; // %A contain the name of the file.
%P=%[%A,'.'];
%P=%P_B; // Now %P contain FileName_B without the
// extension ASC.
create A50_D 651; // I created a new dataset.
for (i=0;i<652;i++)
{
A50_D=(%P); // This doesn't work.
}

[i][i]

The create command creates numeric datasets and there is no way change the format of a hidden dataset. Try this instead...

getfile *.ASC;
%P=%[%A,'.'];
%P=%P_B;
win -t D; // create new worksheet
wks.col2.name$=D; // change name of column 2 to D
wks.col2.format=2; // change format of column 2 to text
set %H -er 651; // create 651 rows
win -r %H A50; // change wks name to A50
loop(i,1,651)
{
A50_D[i]$=%P; // set row i of col D to %P
};
