I am testing the add column statement in Mapbasic with MapInfo 5.5.
I am simply adding a temporairy column to a table that is based on an valid expression like this:

Add column theTable(Temp Char(100)) From theTable Set to COL1+" TEST"

Where theTable is the name of the table.
This statement will create in fact a new field in the table theTable but only when the table is made of regions !!
 
The same statement works for a table of regions but when it contains other types of objects such as points or lines, the new column does not have the proper data (blanks).
 
Has anyone encountered this ?
Why is this statement only working with a specific object type ?
