ADD_FLD()       Add a field to a structure extended database

Description:
  ADD_FLD() adds a field to a "structure extended" database.


Syntax:     
  ADD_FLD( <expC1>, <expC2>, <expN1>, <expN2> )


Pass:       
  <expC1>  = Name of field

  <expC2>  = Field type ("C", "M", "D", "N" or "L")

  <expN1>  = Length of field

  <expN2>  = Digits to right of decimal place for numeric fields


Return:     
  <expL>   = Always .T.


Notes:      
  You must have a structure extended database open in the currently
  selected work area prior to calling ADD_FLD().


Example:    
  CREATE tmpfile
  USE tmpfile

  ADD_FLD( "LAST_NAME  ", "C", 20, 0 )
  ADD_FLD( "FRST_NAME  ", "C", 15, 0 )
  ADD_FLD( "PHONE      ", "C", 12, 0 )

  USE
  CREATE myfile FROM tmpfile
  .
  .
  .


Usage:      
  ADD_FLD() saves you from having to issue several APPEND BLANKS and
  REPLACE statements when creating a structure extended database.
