/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb FORTRAN, Data, Records  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The Compaq Fortran record handling capability enables you to declare
  and operate on multi-field records.  A Compaq Fortran record is a
  named data entity, consisting of one or more fields, that you
  create in your program.  Creating a record requires both a
  structure declaration (to describe the fields in the record) and a
  RECORD statement to establish the record in memory.
