####| 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.                  |####
