I am unable to add a column to a table using the DICT tablename routine. I keep getting COLUMN NAME REQUIRED

is this working for everyone else but me? It really isn't letting me add a column

Hi, Dave. Although you've put this in the OI 64-bit category, am I safe in assuming you're doing this in AREV64/AREV32?
Are you issuing the command DICT tablename, and then filling in the column name, going all the way through, and it's failing at the save? Or are you issuing the command DICT tablename columname and it's giving you an error there?
Thanks,

Ah, just figured out, you probably mean from the TCL prompt in OI (using the "TCL Assistant"), rather than TCL in AREV…
Still not seeing the problem, but at least now I'm looking at the same place as you are…

yeah .. this is in OI10.7. it is because there was a NULL record i found in the editor. I couldn't delete it without writing a program. Editor wouldn't bring it up … dict didn't show any blank column names etc …
But it is ok now … not sure how a null value got in there but reviewing all writes in code.
Thanks for looking.
