Returning records from functions
In order to return a record from a function, the record type must be visible to the caller. The below example declares the record in the main program. The function declares a variable of the same type and initializes the record to 0. This initialization is obligatory for string members to work properly. Then some values are assigned. Lastly, the complete record is returned to the caller:

END RECORD
FUNCTION func TYPE rec_type
LOCAL var = { 0 } TYPE rec_type
var.id = 1
var.zip$[0] = "XJ342"
var.zip$[1] = "YP198"
RETURN var
ENDFUNCTION
rec = func()
PRINT rec.id
PRINT rec.zip$[0]
PRINT rec.zip$[1]
