Defining multiple alphanumeric fields

The ASRFMT call enables you to define several alphanumeric fields at the same time. Rather than use 9 different ASDFLD calls and any of the twelve other calls that set the attributes of alphanumeric fields, the ASRFMT call at C defines 9 fields and all their attributes in one call. Any attributes that are not defined here or are given the value, 0 take default settings.

When fields are logically connected, it is useful to group their definitions together in this way.

If any of the field identifiers match those of existing fields, the existing fields are replaced by the new ones.

The ASDFMT call can also be used to make multiple field definitions but it deletes all existing alphanumeric fields on the current page before creating any new ones. For more information on either of these calls, see the GDDM Base Application Programming Reference book.
