Record Constants
To declare a record constant, specify the value of each field - as 
fieldName: value
, with the field assignments
separated by semicolons - in parentheses at the end of the declaration. The values must be represented by constant
expressions. The fields must be listed in the order in which they appear in the record type declaration, and the tag
field, if there is one, must have a value specified; if the record has a variant part, only the variant selected by the tag
field can be assigned values.
Examples:
type
  TPoint = record
     X, Y: Single;
  end;
  TVector = array[0..1] of TPoint;
  TMonth = (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec);
  TDate = record
    D: 1..31;
    M: TMonth;
    Y: 1900..1999;
  end;
const
  Origin: TPoint = (X: 0.0; Y: 0.0);
  Line: TVector = ((X: -3.1; Y: 1.5), (X: 5.8; Y: 3.0));
  SomeDay: TDate = (D: 2; M: Dec; Y: 1960);
Record constants cannot contain file-type values at any level.
