USING FORMSPEC IN BATCH MODE
ARB BATCH MODE COMMANDS
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.
