As suggested use the ./ant create-component saves a lot of work.
there is about a month worth of you understanding ofbiz to accomplish
your task.
ofbiz is not just a database websites like oscommerce.
you will have to either create, replace or extend an entity. for your
one field. I suggest you find a entity that is has types you can add but
not change the model.
you will then have to change the createcustomer service or add an SECA
then modify the groovy that marshals the data to display.
this is beyond the mailing list to support.
lastly please include previous emails on a subject since they effect the
answer someone will give.
this is best done by subscribing to the mailing list. you can find how
from the main page of ofbiz.

Thank you BJ, I will look at the data model.
One question, suppose I copy the ecommerce folder into hot-deploy& try to
modify files in it, what should I change in the copy ofbiz-component.xml
file so that when I test
http://localhost:8080/ecommerce/control/main it opens the copy instead of
the original?
