add a field to a dbf

[MOISES]

Hi,

I have a dbf with records. I would like to add new fields, but I don´t know the function. Thank you.

Use DbStruct() to retrieve the structure of the current DBF, modify the structure, use DbCreate() to create a new DBF based on the modified structure, copy the record from the original DBF, delete the original DBF and rename the new DBF.

Yes, I do as you said, but it would be faster to do

addfield (cdbf, cfieldname, cfieldtipe, len, dec)

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

There is no such function, as far as I know.

Thank you. That´s why I asked for it.

You can write such function yourself using the steps I listed above.
