New

Format: Ne[w] [column or next [label [width dec]]] or [row [number]]
Inserts a new column or row in the data table. If instead of a numbered column the keyword NEXT is used then a new column will be created to the right of the table. The column number can optionally be followed by a title for the new column, and this may optionally be followed by the desired width and number of decimal places to be displayed. If no title is given then the column will be given the name NEW. If no values are given for the width and number of decimal places then the defaults will be used (as set by the FORMAT command).

If instead of a number after the keyword ROW the keyword NEXT is given then a new row will be added to the bottom of the table. The new column or row is filled with zeroes.

Examples:

Enter command -  new c2
Creates a new column in the second position.

Enter command -  new c4 fred 6 3
Creates a new column in the fourth position, with title FRED and width 6 characters, displayed to 3 decimal places.

Enter command -  new row 4
Creates a new row in the fourth position.

Enter command -  ne row next
Adds a new row on the bottom of the table.

Enter command -  NEW
Enter column to insert (NEXT for next available): c13
If no row or column is given EASISTAT assumes you want to insert a column and asks you what the position of it should be, so that the above sequence would insert a new column 13.
