The mmv command can do this, if you have it installed. It's really useful, I reccomend it. Note that if you're moving to a different device, you'll need to use 'mmv -x'.
Code:
mmv '*.ASN_ERROR~' '/output/path/#1.ASN'

If not, you might have to silly things like piping the output of ls through grep and sed:

Code:
ls /path/to/files | grep "ASN_ERROR~$" | 
        while read FILE
        do
                OUT=`echo "${FILE}" | sed "s/ASN_ERROR~/ASN/;s/^/\/output\/path/"`
                mv "${FILE}" "${OUT}"
        done
