Dear List,
Thanks to everyone who responded, Max Frenandez, Peter Corlett, Trey Pattillo, Michael Barndt, and George Smith. I really appreciate the help. Basically everyone had the same answer as to what I was doing wrong.
The answer is: in the Value section in Update Column only put the value you want to update, not column name = 2, for example.
The original problem is posted below:
I'm having trouble updating an integer column in one of my MapInfo tables.
I want to add a number 2 to a column titled LandUse. I go to Table Update
Column, select the appropriate table and column. Then in the value section
I put LandUse = 2. I don't get any results or error messages. The LandUse
column appears just as before with a 0 in every field. I then converted
the LandUse column to a character and tried to update the column that way.
This time in Table Update Column in the value section I put LandUse = "2".
This time MI updates the column with an "F". No matter what character I
try to update the column with I get an F. Does anybody have a clue to what
is going on here (for the integer and character column)?
