I wouldn't use it except in the case of SUBR(...) type dictionaries. Then it's the main record being accessed in the query so you don't need to open the file and read the record.

What's the right way to use @RECORD? I can do- OPEN '','A-VALID-FILENAME' THEN NULL ...after which @STDFIL is populated with the file handle. Then, I can do- READ @RECORD FROM 'RECORD-ID' THEN NULL ...after which @RECORD is a dynamic array of whatever corresponds to 'RECORD-ID' in 'A-VALID-FILENAME'. But having to directly reference @RECORD seems like it defeats the purpose of a 'default record'. Is there a RIGHT way to populate @RECORD? I've tried a number of ideas that did not work. It would also be cool if you could get TRANS() to populate @RECORD, but it does not seem to.
