Answer 1

Based on your example I recommend you to use an approach as follows.
function clearColumn() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getActiveSheet();
var column = 2; // COLUMN B
sheet.getRange(1, column, sheet.getLastRow(), 1).setValue(0);
}
First you should select the sheet in SpreadsheetApp with a combination of SpreadsheetApp.getActive() and Sheet.getActiveSheet(). From that point you can select the column with Sheet.getRange() to change its value using Range.setValue(). Please let me know if you have any doubt about this procedure.

Answer 2

function resetColumn(col=1) {
const ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const sh=ss.getSheetByName('sheet name');
sh.getRange(1,col,sh.getLastRow(),1).clearContent();
}
regarding your update:
error1 issue:
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sh = ss.getSheetByName("scm");
sh.getRange("d7:d14")setValue(0);//just from row 7 to row 14
//sh.getRange(1,4,sh.getLastRow()).setValue(0);//the whole column;
};
This version makes no sense to me:
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sh = ss.getSheetByName("scm");
var column = sh.getRange("d7:d14");
const Z = 0
sh.getRange(1, column, sh.getLastRow(), 1),Z;
}
