there are two types of structures to add fields into database tables.

create a structure with the fields and add the structure to the dbtable using

<b>.include <struc></b>. this can be done only to the dbtables which are created by us i.e ztables.

But, The only way to change the standard tables is <b>.APPEND <struc></b>

This APPend structure should always be at the end with out disturnbing the original field order.

But there is one constaraint, for standard tables in which there is a field of type "LONG", those tables can never be appended or changed. The reason is: .APPEND should always be at the end and "long" type field should also be at the end. so, there will be a conflict. so, standard tables with "long" data type field can never be appended.

Hi Srini,

U can use Append structure and includes to add fields to the standard tables.
