table.getcolkeyword

get value of specific column keyword

Synopsis
getcolkeyword(columnname, keyword)

Description
The value of the given column keyword is returned. The value can be of any type, including a record and a table.
If a keyword is a table, its value is returned as a string containing the table name prefixed by 'Table: '. That prefix is automatically removed by table functions like open and tableexists.
It is possible that the value of a keyword is a record itself (arbitrarily deeply nested). A field in such a subrecord can be read by separating the name with dots.

Arguments

columnname	in	Name of column
		Allowed:	String
keyword	in	Name or seqnr of keyword
		Allowed:	String\|Int

Returns
Value

Example

  t:=table("MS")
# successful readonly open of table  MS :  22 columns, 7669 rows
  t.getcolkeyword("UVW", "UNIT")
# m
