recordNumItem

The recordNumItem property refers to a field that holds the relative number of a record within a file.
This record number identifies the position at which the I/O takes place. The field can be any of these areas of memory: You must use an unqualified reference to specify the record number field; for example, use myVar rather than myRecord.myVar. (However, in an EGL statement you can reference the record number field in the same way as any other field.) The record number field must be unique in the local scope of the function that accesses the record or must be absent from local scope and unique in global scope.

The record number field must be an integer type of no more than 9 digits.

Only the get and add statements use the record number field, but the record number field must be available to all functions that use the record for file access.
