ADDARBFIELD 

Add a field to the ARB.

Syntax 

          ADDARBFIELD arbname fieldname destination 

Parameters 

arbname          Name of the ARB to which the field will be added.

fieldname        The name of the new field.

destination      Position at which the field is to be inserted.  May be
                 left blank.

Discussion 

If the arbname doesn't exist, an ARB with this name will be created for
the associated form.  The ARB cannot contain the fieldname already.  If
fieldname is not a field on the form, it becomes a filler field, with no
datatype and with a length of 1 (this length may be changed using the
MODARBFIELD command).  If fieldname is on the form, its ARB length and
data type are created from its screen attributes and the Data Conversion
table (set up using the Data Conversion Menu).  If destination is
specified, the field will be inserted at that position, otherwise it will
be appended to the end of the ARB.
