Origin Ver. 8 and Service Release 5 (Select Help-->About Origin): Operating System: WinXP Sp3
Is there any restriction on (workbook short name + column short name) number of characters in Origin8 like it was in Origin 7? I tried to find out by myself, but got strange results. For instance, setting book short name to 10 characters resulted in a maximum of 13 characters in sheet1 of my workbook, but in a maximum number of only 11 characters in sheet2 (???). In Origin help it only says 17 characters max per column short name and 13 characters max per workbook short name. Could not find any further information neither in wiki, google or other help files. I would greatly appreciate any information.
You should use long name and leave the short names as default. The limitation is the resulting dataset name must not be more then 24 characters and dataset names are in the form of
BookName_ColName
for first created sheet but
BookName_ColName@n
where n is the sheet index for 2nd and later sheets. So for 2nd sheet, col A will have dataset name as
Book1_A@2
so you lost two extra characters.
You can use a "list a" in classic script window to see how all the dataset names are.
