Record within a Structure

A nested structure declaration is one that is contained within either a structure declaration or a union declaration. You can use a previously defined record within a structure declaration.

Example: Define structure SALE using previously defined record PRODUCT:

	STRUCTURE /SALE/ 
			CHARACTER*32  BUYER 
			INTEGER*2  QUANTITY 
			RECORD 					/PRODUCT/  ITEM 
	END STRUCTURE

In the above example, the structure SALE contains three fields, BUYER, QUANTITY, and ITEM, where ITEM is a record with the structure, /PRODUCT/.
