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.

Rules and Behavior

You can use record names in COMMON and DIMENSION statements, but not in DATA, EQUIVALENCE, 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STRUCTURE and RECORD constructs have been replaced by derived types, which should be used in writing new code.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 Type and TYPE.
