var deObj = {
    CustomerKey : "SendableDE",
    Name : "Sendable Data Extension",
    Fields : [
        { "Name" : "SubKey", "FieldType" : "Text", "IsPrimaryKey" : true, "MaxLength" : 50, "IsRequired" : true },
        { "Name" : "SecondField", "FieldType" : "Text", "MaxLength" : 50 },
        { "Name" : "ThirdField", "FieldType" : "Text", "MaxLength" : 50 },
        { "Name" : "DifferentSubKey", "FieldType" : "Text", "MaxLength" : 50 }
    ],
    SendableInfo : {
        Field : { "Name" : "SubKey", "FieldType" : "Text" },
        RelatesOn : "Subscriber Key"
    }
};

var de = DataExtension.Add(deObj);
