Hi Tuviah,

In CompileIt! one can define a structure by naming each referenced element and specifying its data type and byte offset from the beginning.

For example, in the CompileIt! Symbol Edit screen I have defined a symbol type "R" (for record field...I can also define constants, ROM global variables, externals, text callbacks, binary callbacks, and raw inline code) named "hyDBLockRecord" as a 1-byte boolian at offset 61. The client handler sets hyDBParamRec@.hyDBLockRecord to true/false (along with other parameter info) and the server handler gets hyDBParamRec@.hyDBLockRecord to determine whether to lock the requested record.
