new column with all value set to zero

Hi
how can I create a new numeric column with all values are zero and not empty?

thanks!

Re: new column with all value set to zero

For future searchers of a solution like this.

I wanted to do the same but with a character value like a file name for the source file upon import.  It seems like you have to declare Character in the New Column function to get it to work right.  Otherwise, it just populates with missing values.  Thanks.

This didn't work:

dt << New Column(colName, Set each value(fileName));

This did:

names default to here(1);
dt = current data table();

colName = "SourceFile";
fileName = dt << get name;

dt << New Column(colName, Character, Nominal, Set each value(fileName));

thank Jim,
I forgot to ask for it, can I write it in JSL?

Create your new column, then go to the Column Info for the column, click on the down arrow for "Initialize Data" and select "Constant".  Then enter in your "0" and clock OK
