**AddField( **//filefield, queuefield //**)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **AddField** | Identifies the corresponding FILE and QUEUE fields for a browse list column. |
| //filefield// | The fully qualified label of the FILE field or memory variable. The //filefield// is the original source of the browse LIST's data. |
| //queuefield// | The fully qualified label of the corresponding QUEUE field. The //queuefield// is loaded from the //filefield//, and is the immediate source of the browse LIST's data. |

The **AddField **method identifies the corresponding FILE and QUEUE fields for a browse list column. You must call AddField for each column displayed in the browse list.

You may also use the AddField method to pair memory variables with QUEUE fields by specifying a variable label as the //filefield //parameter.

**Implementation: **For browses with edit-in-place, you must add fields (call the AddField method) in the same sequence that you declare the browse QUEUE fields.

**Example:**

** INCLUDE('ABBROWSE.INC')                    !declare browse & related classes**

**States  FILE,DRIVER('TOPSPEED'),PRE(StFile) !declare States file**

**ByCode   KEY(StFile:Code),NOCASE,OPT**

**Record   RECORD,PRE()**

**Code      STRING(2)**

**Name      STRING(20)**

**         END**

**        END**

**StQType  QUEUE,TYPE                         !declare the St QUEUE type**

**Code      LIKE(StFile:Code)**

**Name      LIKE(StFile:Name)**

**Position  STRING(512)**

**         END**

**BrowseStClass CLASS(BrowseClass),TYPE       !declare the BrowseSt CLASS**

**Q              &StQType**

**              END**

**StQ      StQType                            !declare the (real) StQ QUEUE**

**BrowseSt BrowseStClass                      !declare the BrowseSt object**

** CODE **

** BrowseSt.AddField(StFile:Code,BrowseSt.Q.Code)   !pair up fields in**

** BrowseSt.AddField(StFile:Name,BrowseSt.Q.Name)   !FILE & QUEUE**
