Description

The LongRec type declares a utility record that stores 4 contiguous (packed) bytes of data. LongRec is used primarily for typecasting, where LongWord data needs to be dissected.

The 4 bytes may be accessed individually via the Bytes array, or as an array of 2 Words, or the value may be accessed via the Hi and Lo order Words.
