Examples

Ex: Create question columns for Primary qnaire

DataCacheSpecification dcs = new DataCacheSpecification(15517146);

array aQcsQuestionColumns = dcs.CreateAllColumnsForQuestion("Q1",0); //Create new column(s) for a question and use primary questionnaire 

for(number i= 0; i < aQcsQuestionColumns.Count; i++){
	aQcsQuestionColumns[i].Save();
}
dcs.Save(); //Must save to make the above statements applied on DCS, but this statement does not REBUILD the DCS
print(dcs.ColumnNames);

Ex: Copy all question columns from DCS A to DCS B

// Copy all question columns from DCS A to DCS B
number dcsARId = 15645155;
number dcsBRId = 15645157;
number qnaireARId = 15645137;

DataCacheSpecification dcsA = new DataCacheSpecification(dcsARId);
DataCacheSpecification dcsB = new DataCacheSpecification(dcsBRId);

dcsB.Reset();
dcsB.ClearSecondaryQuestionnaireJoinType();
dcsB.SetSecondaryQuestionnaireJoinType (qnaireARId,"CompanyNumber","CompanyNumber");
array arrayQuestionColumns = dcsA.CreateAllColumnsForAllQuestions(0);
for(number i = 0; i<arrayQuestionColumns.Count; i++)
{
	QcsQuestionColumn questionColumn = arrayQuestionColumns[i];
	questionColumn.ChangeDcs(dcsB);
	questionColumn.Save();
}
dcsB.Save();
dcsB.Rebuild(true,true,0);
