Example

The following example opens the Item table as a RecordRef variable that is named ItemRecref, creates a reference to field 1 (No.), and stores the value in the variable named MyFieldRef. The Record method uses the MyFieldRef variable to return the RecordRef of field 1 and stores the reference in a variable named MyRecRef. MyRecRef.Number returns the table that the selected field belongs to.

var
    MyFieldRef: FieldRef;
    ItemRecref: RecordRef;
    MyRecRef: RecordRef;
    Text000: Label 'The selected field is from table %1.';
begin
    ItemRecref.Open(Database::Item);  
    MyFieldRef := ItemRecref.Field(1);  
    MyRecRef := MyFieldRef.Record;  
    Message(Text000, MyRecRef.Number);  
end;
