How can I copy the definition of a field from one table to another at design-time?

I have a table with ten fields, f1 (being an integer field) to f10 (being a character field). In between there are other integer, character and date fields. I would like to copy those field definitions to another table, without needing to re-write the whole definitions. I'm working with the Data Dictionary, who seems not to cover this feature. **Edit after first answer** The first answer mentions how to do this at runtime, but I'm specifically looking for a solution at design-time. **Edit** I've found there are different commandline utilities which can be used for working with Progress database: ProDB for creating a new database, ProUtil for doing several tasks (but I don't find a ProUtil ). How can I achieve this?
