868.0. "RECORD Data construct" by STAR::DUTKO (Nestor, VMS Engineering) Wed Apr 03 1991 16:48
If I define an attribute of type RECORD with three fields, I understand that
the fields are used as keywords when specifying their values.
Must I specify every keyword/value pair even if I don't need to?
Consider a VMS ACE. It is comprised of three fields, the Identifier, the Options
and Access. I don't need to specify Options on every ACE, just when I want to.
As a note, I'm currently envisioning the VMSace to be defined as:
TYPE VMSIdentifierAce = 1 RECORD
Identifier = 1 : Latin1String ;
Options = 2 : Latin1String ;
Access = 3 : Latin1String ;
END ;

| For now you must specify EVERY keyword=value pair when entering a
record from both the FCL and the Iconic Map PMs. Maybe in the
future this will change, but for now we don't have a consistent
mechanism for encoding "it wasn't supplied" inside a record.
