void set_cols_in_range_to_same_datatype_Ex1()
{
        
        Worksheet wks;
        wks.Create("Origin");
        if( wks )
        {
                DataRange dr;
        
                dr.Add(wks, 0, "X");
                dr.Add(wks, 1, "Y");
        
                // set two columns to different data type
                wks.Columns(0).SetFormat(OKCOLTYPE_NUMERIC);    
                wks.Columns(1).SetFormat(OKCOLTYPE_NUMERIC);    
                wks.Columns(0).SetInternalDataType(FSI_LONG);       
                wks.Columns(1).SetInternalDataType(FSI_DOUBLE);
                int nRet = set_cols_in_range_to_same_datatype(dr);
                if(nRet < 0)
                        printf("failed to set");
                else
                        printf("columns in selected data range are all set to same type \n" );
