A record is a structured type consisting of a collection of components
that are not necessarily of the same type. Each component is termed a
field of the record and has its own identifier. A field of a record is
accessed by using the appropriate field selector .
A record type consists of the reserved word RECORD, a field list, and the
reserved word END. The reserved word PACKED may precede the reserved word
RECORD. If PACKED is used, it instructs the compiler to optimize storage
of the record fields.
