----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-238174445_-_- Content-type: text/plain How to zero a complete RECORD: VAR r, zero: RECORD a, b, c: T ... END; ... PROCEDURE Read*; BEGIN r.a:= a; r.b:= b: r.c:= c; ... END Read; (* put what you need into record "r" fields *) PROCEDURE Zero*; BEGIN a:= zero END Zero; (* this a very efficient and elegant way to fill with zeroes a complete structure *) Of course you need a "zero" for each kind of RECORD. Greetings, René Dorta. Univ. de Carabobo. Venezuela. Hof, Philipp wrote: Thanks for your replies:) Leading to my next question: Is there a built-in function to zero (or fill) everything in a RECORD? I could use RtlZeroMemory from the Windows API but rather would not.
