insert multiple columns in views

Hi,

I want to insert in a view a first column called 'Prefixe'.
that is my code :

load view "01 - Typage des objets"
Column col = insert (column 0)
attribute(col, "AS Prefixe Id")
title(col, "Prefixe")
print "Ajout de la colonne Prexixe\n"
save view "01 - Typage des objets

As result, the view contains 26 new columns "Prefixe" !!!!
There is no "for" loop in my code !

Your code will add that column each time it is run; so it appears you have ran it (while testing) 26 times.

I would amend it such that if the existing column 0 is already your attribute, then don't do anything. Maybe also amend it such that if the existing column 1 is already your attribute, then delete that column. Do that in a loop.

Yes it is what I done : insert a column at position 1 and delete the new 0 one.
thanks.

Maybe you forgot to set the current module, and you are trying to do that in a loop? The functions you are using operate on the current module, after you load the view, this could be any module, depending on the DXL in the view. So you should in all cases reset the current module, before using insert or other functions. Regards, Mathias
