Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5 SR6 v7.5885
Operating System: XP Pro

I'm trying to organize and plot data after initial import.
I wrote a short script and ran into some problems:

The initial worksheet consists of datasets in the from xy xy xy. The y columns have a column label that I would like to use
as the name of the new worksheet. Is there a way do this?

After dividing up my initial worksheet in individual worksheets and doing some math I would like to plot the data and scale it
right away. My problem is in line 13: I don't know what to put to address the active worksheet. Also Origin only allows me to use the column name but not col(4). With this I run into problems because the forth column doesn't always have the same column name. I'd appreciate any ideas how to solve this.

Below I attached the code.
Thanks a lot for your help!

1 loop (num, 1, wks.ncols/2)
2 {
3 win -a Data1;
4 work-d;
5 for(jj=wks.ncols;jj>2;jj--) {delete %(%H,$(jj));} //delete col greater than col2;
6 work -a 2;
7 work -t 3 4;
8 wks.col3.label$=Ebin;
9 col(3)=1253.56-col(1);
10 col(4)=col(2);
11 work -s 4 0; // select column 4
12 work -p 200 XPSnew; // plot line with template XPSnew;
13 limit active worksheet_col(3);
14 layer1.x.from = limit.ymax; //scales graph
15 layer1.x.to = limit.ymax;
16 win -a Data1;
17 del col(1);
18 del col(1);
19 };

Easiest to find the limits while the worksheet is still active, i.e., before plotting. Also, the limit command is usually applied to a Y dataset so you can find both x and y ranges as shown below. Finally, you can avoid window 'flickering' from activating Data1 by using win -o Data1 { }, also shown below...

1 loop (num, 1, wks.ncols/2)
2 {
3 win -o Data1 {work -d};
4 for(jj=wks.ncols;jj>2;jj--) {delete %(%H,$(jj));} //delete col greater than col2;
5 work -a 2;
6 work -t 3 4;
7 wks.col3.label$=Ebin;
8 col(3)=1253.56-col(1);
9 col(4)=col(2);
10 limit col(4); // find x and y limits
11 work -s 4 0; // select column 4
12 work -p 200 XPSnew; // plot line with template XPSnew;
13 layer1.x.from = limit.xmin;
14 layer1.x.to = limit.xmax;
15 layer1.y.from = limit.ymin;
16 layer1.y.to = limit.ymax;
17 win -o Data1 {del col(1); del col(1)};
18 };

Say you want to rename a new wks after the label for column 4...

%A=wks.col4.label$;
work -d %A; // duplicate wks as %A

There are more restrictions on worksheet names than there are on worksheet or column labels so the results will probably not be exact.
