Field
In a record, a specified area used for the value of a data attribute. The data specifications of each VA FileMan field are documented in the file’s data dictionary. A field is similar to blanks on forms. It is preceded by words that tell you what information goes in that particular field. The blank, marked by the cursor on your terminal screen, is where you enter the information.
