Greetings,

Anyone know the syntax for referencing an array element (record) from an
access type pointing to an array of records ?


pointer -> array of records -> record

type xyz_rec is 
    record
      a : integer;
      b : integer;
    end record;

type xyz_array is array (1 .. 100) of xyz_rec;
type xyz_pointer is access xyz_array;


Here is my guess assuming that I want to get the 5th record in an array:
XYZ    :  xyz_pointer;
MY_XYZ :  xyz_rec;

assuming that the pointer XYZ has been assigned to an array of records .....

MY_XYZ := XYZ.xyz_array'(5);  or maybe

MY_XYZ := XYZ.xyz_array'(5).all;     or maybe I'm just guessing too much.


help..........

Thanks,
Richmond
