Add Field Definitions

Adding a field definition makes the field immediately available to all users.

When adding field definitions after data is already in an NDB, defining a field with NULLFIELD=NO causes errors on the update of any record that existed prior to the definition, if the newly defined field is not included in the update list. This is because it is a required field, and is not in the record.
