MODARBFIELD 

Modify the attributes of a field on an ARB.

Syntax 

            MODARBFIELD arbname fieldname {[length, type]}

Parameters 

arbname          Name of the ARB that contains the field to be modified

fieldname        The name of the field to be modified.

[length, type]   The new ARB field length and/or data type.

Discussion 

The arbname must exist in the forms file and the fieldname must exist on
the ARB. You can change both the parameters length and type, but you must 
specify at least one.  They must conform to the edit rules (see Section
3).

EXAMPLE 

          The command:

              MODARBFIELD EMPLOYEE SSNUM, CHAR

          changes the ARB data type to CHAR.
