Set Column Values

[#1]

I am creating several data tables, where I will add a Character column with repeating values.  I am using the repeat function to do this.  My trouble is that it seems to take a very long time for large repeat values.  Is there a more efficient way to do this?  I am using JMP11.  Thanks!

// Example.

Names Default To Here( 1 );

t1 = Tick Seconds();

dt = New Table( "50000 Rows", Add Rows( 50000 ),

      New Column( "Hello!", Character, Nominal, Set Values( Repeat( {"Hi!"}, 50000 ) ) )

);

t2 = Tick Seconds();

Print( Concat( Char( t2 - t1 ), " seconds." ) );

Set Each Value() should be a little more efficient:

New Column( "Hello!", Character, Nominal, Set each value("Hi!") )
