or, with a variant part,
type record_type_identifier = record field_identifier: type_definition; ... field_identifier: type_definition; case bar: variant_type of selector: (field_declarations); selector: (field_declarations); ... end;

The reserved word record
defines a structure of fields.
Records can be packed to save memory usage at the expense of
speed.
The reserved word record and record types are defined in ISO 7185 Pascal. According to ISO Pascal, the variant type must be an identifier. GNU Pascal, like UCSD and Borland Pascal, also allows a subrange here.
A record field is accessed by record_type_variable . field_identifier
