# tbxcpb -- X putcol Boolean
# Write values for one column to a range of rows.  This is for data type
# Boolean and row-ordered SDAS tables.
#
# Phil Hodge, 28-Dec-1987  Different data types combined into one file.
# Phil Hodge,  6-Mar-1989  Allow COL_DTYPE < 0 for character columns.
# Phil Hodge, 31-Mar-1993  Include short datatype.
# Phil Hodge,  4-Nov-1993  tbxcpt:  call sscan as a subroutine, not a function.
# Phil Hodge, 14-Sep-1994  Use tbeszt for length of string; in tbxcpt, use
#				gargd (dblbuf) and then nint for int & short.
# Phil Hodge,  2-Jun-1997  Replace INDEFD with TBL_INDEFD.
# Phil Hodge,  3-Mar-1998  Remove call to tbxwsk.
# Phil Hodge, 27-Aug-2002  In tbxcpi and tbxcps, include an explicit test
#	for INDEF, rather than relying on a test on abs (dblbuf).
