1 – name
Name of the field you want to create. You must use a field name
that conforms to OpenVMS naming conventions.
2 – path-name
A full or relative data dictionary path name specifying the
source of the field definition. You must invoke the database by
path name if you plan to copy a shareable field definition from
the data dictionary.
The name you give to the field must match the name of the field
in the data dictionary. You cannot rename a shareable field.
3 – text
A text string that adds a comment to the field definition.
4 – field-attributes
A list of definitions that indicate what type of data you can
store in the field and how Oracle Rdb uses that data. The field
attributes include the data type and the following optional
clauses:
o VALID IF
o MISSING_VALUE
o DATATRIEVE support clauses
Do not use multiple, conflicting clauses in a field definition.
For a complete description of field attributes, ask for HELP on
Field_attr.
