Global Record Type Qualification

Whenever record type qualification is required, you can elect to reference every occurrence of a particular data field, regardless of the record types in which it is defined. This global capability is achieved by prefixing the field name with an asterisk (*).

Example:

E.CPU TIME references the field CPU TIME in the E-type record.
*.CPU TIME references the field CPU TIME in all record types in which it is defined.
