The MapBasic window does not everything you do, especially more complex statement tend
to escape the MapBasic window recorder.
If you want to create points from coordinates in two columns you can do it in this way:
Write the 2 lines that not have a ping (') at the start into the MapBasic window after
the lines automatically created by MapInfo.
You execute the lines by placing the cursor somewhere in the line and then hit ENTER.
'Here the table has been made mappable. This should be visible in the MapBasic window
'Create Map From .......
'Now we need to tell MapINfo to use the projection specified above when making the
table mappable
' Replace <mytable< with the name of your table
Set CoordSys Table <mytable>
'Now we need to create the points, again replace <mytable> with the name of the table
and
'<myXcol> and <myYcol> with the names of the columns holding the X- og Y coordinates.
Update <mytable> Set Obj = CreatePoint(<myXcol>, <myYcol>)

>
> Hi
> I have a question about creating points from a dbf file. I
> opened mapbasic window in MI to see the code generated for
> opening dbf then creating points and finaly displaying in map
> window. When I ran the map basic code no points were made.
> I notice that I have to specify the fields for the X and Y
> coordinates in MI's dialog box and no code was generated for
> this. I see that MI dialog defaults to the first two number
> fields. What is the MB code to specify the exact fields X and
> Y or is that not available in MI MB window?
