(Does that mean "numberwise"??)
Can we identify which columns have changed? i.e. 1st, 3rd and 12th columns?

"modified column data" could mean either 1) (modified column) data
i.e. the data for the modified column, or 2) modified (column data)
i.e. the modified data in the column. I read that as (2) and didn't
look at the code. ;-)
Happy now that I know its (1)
