Description
'Position is a record type component attribute. It represents the address offset of the component from the beginning of the record. The value returned is represented in storage units, which is machine-specific.
Example
If you declare:
type
My_Recordis
record
Component1 : Integer; Component2 : Integer;end
record
; R : My_Record;
then
R.Component2'Position = 1
This assumes an integer occupies one storage unit.
