####| The database functions return information about the current or |####
####| selected alias. Each database function, bof(), eof(), reccount(), |####
####| etc., has an a_xxx() counterpart that takes a specific alias as a |####
####| parameter, such as a_bof(), a_eof(), a_reccount(). The a_xxx() |####
####| functions result in more readable, reliable code. |####
