The following sections list the attributes supported in a Master File.
Identifies the Access File for a FOCUS data source.
Identifies the fully-qualified physical file name.
Identifies the Master File.
Provides descriptive text in the default language.
Provides descriptive text in a language identified by the language code ln.
Identifies the type of data source.
Identifies the fully-qualified physical file name of a LOCATION or cross-referenced segment in a FOCUS data source.
Causes the data values for a segment to be encoded as they are added to the database.
Names a separate file where a segment of data or a text field is located.
Identifies repeating fields.
Identifies a segment's parent segment.
Names a field in the parent segment that acts as a place holder for repeating fields in the middle of a record.
Assigns a segment name.
Declares the sort order and number of key fields in a segment.
Assigns a list or range of acceptable data values to a field, or identifies a file in which acceptable values are stored. The values are used to test transaction values during data maintenance operations. For files with multiple record types described by a generalized record structure, ACCEPT assigns valid RECTYPE data values.
Declares the type and length of a field in a non-FOCUS data source.
Assigns an alternate field name. For relational databases, ALIAS is set to the field's column name. For non-FOCUS data source containing multiple record types, ALIAS is set to the value of the record type flag.
Stores a temporary field definition in the Master File for use as a COMPUTE in a request.
Provides a pattern for converting non-standard alphanumeric dates to FOCUS dates.
Creates a virtual field.
Provides descriptive text in the default language.

Assigns a field name.
Identifies an indexed field.
Defines a named boolean expression to use in WHERE or IF tests in a request.
Declares the type, length, and display options of a field in a FOCUS database. For other data files, declares how FOCUS is to display and use the data values.

Identifies group fields as a set of elements. Eliminates the need to specify USAGE and ACTUAL formats for the group field.
Assigns a one-line text message that can be displayed at the bottom of a CRTFORM screen.

Names a separate file where a segment of data or a text field is located.
Is a field in the fixed portion of a segment that contains the record type for a descendant OCCURS segment with record types.
Associates each OCCURS segment with its associated MAPFIELD record indicator.
Causes FOCUS to distinguish null values from intentionally entered zeros or blanks.
Declares an internal counter for an OCCURS segment that associates a sequence number with each repetition.
Identifies the type of record in a non-FOCUS data source with multiple record types.
Provides a column heading in the default language.
Provides a column heading in a language identified by the language code ln.
Same as FORMAT.

Names the common field in a Master-defined join.
Names the cross-referenced segment that contains the common field in a Master-defined join.
Specifies a user's access rights.
Establishes the administrator's password.
Names a central file that contains security information.
Marks the end of the Master File.
Identifies the restricted segment or field.
Controls Access to segments and fields
