You can not alter the cursor's structure once it has been created. The easiest solution, as already stated here, is to add an item into the "orditemfieldarray"

Select invoiceitems
ordnumfields = AFIELDS(orditemfieldarray)

DIMENSION orditemfieldarray[ordnumfields+1, ALEN(orditemfieldarray, 2)]

orditemfieldarray[ordnumfields+1, 1] = 'toplevelitem'
orditemfieldarray[ordnumfields+1, 2] = 'C'
orditemfieldarray[ordnumfields+1, 3] = '20'
orditemfieldarray[ordnumfields+1, 4] = '0'
orditemfieldarray[ordnumfields+1, 5] = .F.

CREATE CURSOR orditemview FROM ARRAY orditemfieldarray
