RECORD

 

Statement: Declares a record structure as an entity with a name.

Syntax

RECORD /structure-name/record-namelist

   /structure-name/record-namelist]

   . . .

   [, /structure-name/record-namelist]

structure-name

Is the name of a previously declared structure.

record-namelist

Is a list of one or more variable names, array names, or array specifications, separated by commas. All of the records named in this list have the same structure and are allocated separately in memory.

You can use record names in COMMON and DIMENSION statements, but not in DATA or NAMELIST statements.

Records initially have undefined values unless you have defined their values in structure declarations.

STRUCTURE and RECORD constructs have been replaced by derived types, which should be used in writing new code. See Derived Data Types.

Example

STRUCTURE /address/

LOGICAL*2 house_or_apt

INTEGER*2 apt

INTEGER*2 housenumber

CHARACTER*30 street

CHARACTER*20 city

CHARACTER*2 state

INTEGER*4 zip

END STRUCTURE

 

RECORD /address/ mailing_addr(20), shipping_addr(20)
