Define a Data Structure

Data Structures types must be defined before they are used. Each Data Structure has a name and a list of members with their types. The name of the Data Structure and its members are case-sensitive and must match the same naming conventions as entry names.

You can declare Data Structure types using the keyword DATASTRUCTURE.

DATASTRUCTURE Name
  BEGIN
    members
  END
 

The following requirements apply to Data Structures:

• The name of a Data Structure must begin with an uppercase character and is limited to uppercase characters, lower-case characters, digits, and underscores. Spaces are not allowed.
• The name must be unique in the scope where it is declared.
• The name cannot be a keyword in the Template scripting language. To avoid conflicts, including with future extensions to the language, do not use all capitals for the name.
• Members are a list of zero or more member declarations.

The DATASTRUCTURE statement defines a Data Structure and assigns it a name.
