[fpc-pascal]RE: Defining Records on the fly:

[Adam Victor Nazareth Brandizzi]

You can also define a function that returns the record you need:

function NewMyRec( X, Y : double ) : TMyRec;
begin
   NewMyRec.x := X;
   NewMyRec.y := Y;
end;

I think it's really better than declare a new variable and initialize it 
by the code.

if CheckPoint(NewMyRec(1.2, 2.2)) then ...

Be well...
