ADD-LIKE-COLUMN method

If you want to add columns individually, you can use the ADD-LIKE-COLUMN method:

browse-handle:ADD-LIKE-COLUMN(field-name-expr | buffer-field-handle)

This method adds one column at a time to a browse, based on a field name string expression or field handle in a buffer. You can add any number of columns to a browse by making successive calls to this method.
