ASFCLR
Clears all unprotected fields, all protected fields, or both, and resets their character attributes to defaults.
ASRFMT
Defines a group of alphanumeric fields for the current page; existing fields that are not redefined are not deleted.

Specifying or changing field attributes

ASDFLT
Sets the default attributes to be used for new field definitions on the current page.
ASFBDY
Defines the outlining (or boundary) for a field.
ASFCOL
Sets the field color.
ASFEND
Specifies the action to be taken after terminal input to of each row of a field.
ASFHLT
Sets the field highlighting.
ASFIN
Specifies the type of null-to-blank conversion to occur on input to a field.
ASFINT
Sets the field intensity.
ASFMOD
Defines an alphanumeric field (or fields) as modified or unmodified.

Sets the symbol set to be used as the primary symbol set for a field.
ASFOUT
Specifies the type of blank-to-null conversion to occur on output from the field to the device.
ASFSEN

ASFTRA
Sets the field transparency attribute.
ASFTRN
Specifies the set of symbol code translation tables to be used for a field.
ASFTYP
Sets the field type.
ASRATT

Querying field attributes

ASQFLD
Returns the attributes of one or more fields.
ASQMAX
Returns the number of alphanumeric fields on the current page, and the maximum field identifier currently defined.
ASQMOD
Returns the identifiers and lengths of modified fields for the current page.
ASQNMF
Returns the number of modified fields for the current page.

Specifying field contents and character attributes

ASCCOL
Sets the colors to be used for individual character positions in a field.
ASCHLT
Sets the highlighting for each character position in a field.
ASCPUT
Fills a specified field with a character string.
ASCSS
Sets the symbol-set identifiers to be used for individual characters in a field.
ASMODE
Determines whether the terminal operator may modify character attributes.

Querying field contents and character attributes

ASCGET
Returns the character contents of a specified field.
ASQCOL
Returns the current character color attributes of a field.
ASQHLT
Returns the current highlighting for characters in a field.
ASQLEN
Returns the real and effective lengths of the contents of a field.
ASQSS
Queries the current symbol-set attributes for characters in a field.

Cursor operations

ASFCUR
Positions the cursor within the current page or a specified field.
