Hi,
<snip>
You could do this:
FillChar( record with zeros ) Initialize( record ) fill in fields.

Personally, I'd have a serious word with any a programmer who worked with me who did such a thing and relied on it, but perhaps it would get you going for the short term.
I won't do this. I feel it more as a kludge than as a good, long term solution.

In fact, since I have way too much to do, here is a script to create operators from record types, eg:
Woh! This is perfect!
I will integrate your script into my translation program (a Perl script too).
You made my day.
Thanks and thanks!
