You can define typed constant and assign it to variable.

I never understood why we can't initialize fields at init time for
records. Pascal seems to be the only language that doesn't support this
in 2020. Thinking of C++, C#, PHP, Swift and many more all let you do
this. Not even Delphi supports this AKAIK.
Of course you can:
var
x : record a,b : integer; end = (a:1;b:3);
begin
end.
This is identical to how C++ does it. From cppreference.com:
typedef struct { int k; int l; int a[2]; } T;
T x = {.l = 43, .k = 42, .a[1] = 19, .a[0] = 18 };
