What inspired this wish list request?
Using JMP's Update platform and getting error messages.
What is the improvement you would like to see?
If user has defined columns to be added and chose NOT to replace any of those added columns, add them as new columns with index.
Error:
Names Default To Here(1);
dt1 = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp", Invisible);
dt2 = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class Families.jmp", Invisible);
dt1 << Update(
With(dt2),
Match Columns(:name = :name),
Add Columns from Update Table(:age),
Replace Columns in Main Table(None)
);
Close(dt1, no save);
Close(dt2, no save);
but I would like to end up with two age columns: original age and newly created age 2 from the dt2.
Why is this idea important?
Makes using Update more flexible without having to rely on renaming columns
