fvApi.SetField = [async] function(row, column, text)

For Block Mode hosts Only (3270/5250)

Use this call to set the value of an entry field at the specified row and column. Any existing value will be replaced.

Parameter	Description
row	Row that the field is located on. 1=first row
column	Column for the first character of the field. 1=first column
text	Text to set in the field. If the text is longer than the field it will be truncated.

Return Value	Description
void	Return value ignored

Note that in msgAPI (FVAPISession) mode, this is defined as an async function and can be awaited by the caller to ensure synchronized execution.

As this function must be executed in the FVTerm iFrame, if not using FVTermParent, it needs the use of await in order to ensure the SetField has finished prior to using a SendKeys to enter a screen (for example).
