Re: Add items to a record variable

If you need to return a record to another function or client program,
you can always use this sytnax:

SELECT var_a::integer, var_b::integer, var_c::integer... etc

where var_a, var_b, etc and local variables that hold your calculated values.

You dont need to create a local record structure- select will do that
for you. The '::integer' will ensure that the values are typecast as
integers.
