table.putcolkeyword

put a specific keyword for a column

Synopsis
putcolkeyword(columnname, keyword, value)

Description
Put a keyword in the given column. The value of the keyword can be a scalar or an array of any type or it can be a record.
It is possible to define a keyword holding a subtable. In that case a special string containing the name of the subtable will be passed to the table client.
It is possible that the value of a keyword is a record itself (arbitrarily deeply nested). A field in such a subrecord can be written by separating the name with dots. If a subrecord does not exist, an error is returned unless makesubrecord=T is given. In such a case intermediate records are created when needed.

Arguments

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

Returns
Bool

Example

  t:=table("MS", readonly=F)
  t.putcolkeyword("UVW", "MEASURE_UNIT", "m")
# T
  t.flush()
# T
