The way I do this in Code is by using the update function. See example below
This assumes that the table is mappable, if not use the Create map function
Update tab2 set obj = createpoint(LON,LAT)
commit table tab2
No loop is involved.
This will create a point for every row in the table using two fields: LON and LAT. Of
course these columns could be named anything.
Hope this helps.

Subject: MI-L MapBasic and Create Points, Trouble!!!
Hello I am using MB 4.12 and MapInfo 4.5
I have a table that is not geographical , but is loaded with two columns one
with longitude and one with latitude-info.
I want to create points in a map...but I can't find a way to do this quick.
I have 800 points and if I try to use the "do while not EOT(tablename) with
UPDATE and CreatePoint-function it take years to get these points
drawn.....after five minutes..control-break....Have also tried something
with this "fetch next statement". What Do I do wrong...
Is there anyone who knows something about this.....the table_create points
in the standard mapinfo-meny is a very quick thing..but how does this code
look like..if anyone knows....?
Thank you very much for any help!
