Making exact clone of a column

[#1]

HI JMP users,

am looking for your help to make identical clone of a column through JMP scipt.

I don't want to select the "Date" column to make a identical column instead script should be able to recognize "Date" column and make a clone column.

Regards

By "exact" clone do you mean to copy all formatting, column properties and values?

This should create a new column with a different name. Modify this example as necessary for your purpose.

Names Default to Here( 1 );

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

expr = :weight << Get Script;

Eval(
	Parse(
		Substitute(
			"dt << " || Char( Name Expr( expr ) ),
			"weight",
			"weight 2"
		)
	)
);
