table.putvarcol - Function

put a specific column (for variable arrays)

Synopsis
putvarcol(columnname, value, startrow, nrow, rowincr)

Description

putcol can only used if values in the column cells to put have the same shape. putvarcol addresses this limitation by passing the values as a record instead of an array. Each field in the record contains the value for a column cell. So the length of the record has to match the number of rows to put. If a value is the unset value, no put is done for that row.

Arguments

columnname	in	Name of column
		Allowed:	String
value	in	Record with values
startrow	in	First row to put (default 1)
		Allowed:	Int
nrow	in	Number of rows to put (default -1 means till the end)
		Allowed:	Int
rowincr	in	Increment in rows to put (default 1)
		Allowed:	Int

Returns
Bool

Example

  t:=table("tcal",readonly=F)
# successful read/write open of table  tcal :  9 columns, 11 rows
  gain:=t.getvarcol("DATA", 1, 10)
  t.putvarcol("Gain", gain, 11, 10)
  t.flush()

This example copies the values from row 1-10 to row 11-20.
