How can I add a numeric field to an existing table that has 2 decimal places using a dbs file?

I did find some documentation for the format of a dbs file but it seemed rather minimal to me.

thanks

[ALTER]
TABLENAME
ADD#FIELDNAME#int#NULL#0#
[END]


The code above would add the field FIELDNAME to the table TABLENAME. The field is integer, does allow NULL (if you don't want allow the field to be NULL replace NULL by NOT NULL) and the default value is set to 0.

Hope that helps.

Sorry OneWayMule, I don';t think you read me e-mail correctly. I don't want an integer field. I want a data type that supports decimla places, eg in Access a "Single"

cheers

well, then just write single instaed of int, however the dbs file my not work on all database if you do, because it will not translate the datatype.

It is very minimal as it is designed for the forum which does not use floating point numbers
