RECORD Statement

The RECORD statements identify a subschema record. Depending on the verb and options coded, the RECORD statements can also:

Copy a record description from the schema with which the current subschema is associated
Define a subschema view of the record; a subschema view determines:
- Which record elements can be accessed through the subschema
- Which DML verbs can be issued against the record
Establish a priority, within the subschema, for the record
Delete a record from the subschema
Display or punch a subschema record description

The subschema compiler applies RECORD statements to the current subschema.
