Don't have one, but you could write a test using the SAL functions SalTblCopyRows()
and SalTblPasteRows(). See TD's Help for details on these functions.

And if you really only want to copy a single column's worth of data to another
column in another TW, then a loop (between start & end rows) and the function
SalTblSetContext() are what you should use for your test application. Something
like:
Set nCurrRow = nSomeStartRow ! could be 0, could be another row
! nEndRow = last row you want to copy
While nCurrRow <= nEndRow
Call SalTblSetContext( hWndFromTbl, nCurrRow )
Call SalTblSetContext( hWndToTbl, nCurrRow )
Set hWndToTbl.colTO = hWndFromTbl.colFROM
Set nCurrRow = nCurrRow + 1

or similiar would likely be at the core of your code.

hi ng...
some one can help ??

i cant set the source info into the destination cell...
! Set hWinTablaDestino.hWinColumnaDestino = sDato
! Handle Semi-qualified reference not allowed because sNombreColumna is not
a child window or variable of a form, dialog, or table.

or how get the cell handle to use
salsetwindowtext()

Well... hWinColumnaDestino is a null/0 window handle! so your call to
SalSetWindowText( hWinColumnaDestino, sDato ) will never work. You need
to have a valid window handle for your Destino/destination column. Here's
how to do it:

Variables
Number: nColID

Set nColID = SalTblCreateColumn( hWinTablaDestino, ... ) ! you have this as "Call..."
! now convert the ID to its window handle for the SalSetWindowText() calls
Set hWinColumnaDestino = SalTblGetColumnWindow ( hWinTablaDestino, nColID, COL_GetID )

(A good way to debug is to set your breakpoint, single step and test the values of
your variables. On the SalSetWindowText(...) call hWinColumnaDestino = 0.)

Another good thing to do is *always* save your tests and samples in text/APT mode,
not binary mode, when you upload here.
