     Action
 
     Declares a variable as a structure type.
 
     Syntax
 
     RECORD /type_name/ vname [ [attrs] ] [(dim)]
     [, vname[ [attrs] ] [(dim)] ]...
 
     Parameter          Description
 
     type_name          Name of a previously defined structure.
 
     vname              Name for the new variable.
 
     [attrs]            A list of attributes for the variable,
                        separated by commas.
 
     dim                A dimension declarator for specifying the
                        variable as an array.
 
     Remarks
 
     STRUCTURE defines a new data type. RECORD assigns this new data
     type to a variable.
 
     RECORD statements must precede all executable statements.
