Re: Record comparision ?

["Mark Fisher" <mark.fisher@dial.pipex.com>]

What your example actually does is compare the addresses of REC_PTR1
and REC_PTR2.

In order to compare the contents use

if REC_PTR1.all = REC_PTR2.all
then
.........

or refer to the components you wish to compare indiviudally.
