I see. It’s the parenthesis that are problematic. I guess the solution would be curly brackets:

rec := {x: 1; y: 2; z: 1}

or some magic function like writeln:

rec := TMyRec(x: 1; y: 2; z: 1)

rec := @(x: 1; y: 2; z: 1)

etc…

Anyway it could be achieved that would be nice to have a built in constructor for records on the language level.
