Accessing record members

The notation record-name.member-name refers to an individual member of a record:

DISPLAY rec.cust_name TO FORMONLY.f_name -- Single record member

The notation record-name.* refers to the entire list of record members.

DISPLAY BY NAME rec.*  -- All record members

The notation record-name.start-member THRU record-name.end-member refers to a consecutive set of members. (THROUGH is a synonym for THRU):

DISPLAY rec.cust_id THRU rec.cust_address  -- Members from cust_id to cust_address

For complex record structures, sub-records can be accessed by chaining the dot-member notation:

DEFINE reader RECORD
            id INTEGER,
            name VARCHAR(100)
            address RECORD
                num VARCHAR(20),
                street VARCHAR(200),
                city_id INTEGER
            END RECORD
       END RECORD

MAIN
    LET reader.name = "Mike Finley"
    LET reader.address.num = "2A"
    LET reader.address.street = "Sunset Bld"
END MAIN
