Initializing record variables

I would like to find a quick way to initialize a large record variable which contains the same field type for all of its members. For example: define record blah field1 char(1), field2 char(1) ... field99 char(1) end record Does anyone know of a quick way to initialize every element of this record to "N"? Thanks in advance! --------------------------------------------- Jim Carr BASS, Inc. Systems Analyst Dayton, OH
