iRec.ROFields is a struct called 'msgROFields' with one element,
ROField (a list).
You should be able to say:
iRec.ROFields.ROField.append(msgROField())
However, I think it would be more idiomatic to specify either
typedef list<msgROField> msgROFields
or specify InstitutionRecord as
{
1: string REC_ID;
2: i32 NumROFields;
3: msgInstitution Institution;
4: msgCSA CSA;
5: list<msgROField> ROFields;
}
instead of:
struct msgROFields
{
1: list<msgROField> ROField;
}
