So if you keep that information people will complaint about memory footprint and compiler not hidding internal program structures and other now complaint about it can not writeln a record :-? If you want to do something like that replace yout records with classes and put the fileds in the published section so you will have RTTI information about the class and you can write a generic writeln function for classes writting the published fields. -- Best regards, José _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
