Renaming columns with loop

Hi,

I am trying to rename few columns. Basically I want to append "OFL" character at the end of original column name.

I trried this script but no success.

dt = Current Data Table();
For( i = 25, i <= N Cols( dt ), i++,
newname = :Column Name( dt, i )||"OFL";
Column( dt, i ) << Set Name( newname );
);

	cName = Column(dt,i) << Get Name;
	newname = cName|| "OFL";
	Column( dt, i ) << Set Name( newname );
);
