    To create a database file whose contents are the field definitions of
    the current database file.

Arguments

    <file> is the name of the structure extended database file.

    Fields: The <field list> is one or more fields in the current
    database file whose definitions will appear in the new database file as
    records in the order specified.

Usage

    COPY STUCTURE EXTENDED creates a database file with four fields:
    Field_name, Field_type, Field_len, and Field_dec.  The structure
    extended file contains the structure of the current database file with
    a record for the definition of each field.

    database file from the structure extended file, use CREATE FROM.  If
    you only need an empty structure extended file, use CREATE.
