[erlang-questions] Defining records using macros

[Yash Ganthe]

-define(REC_DEFINE(Type),
                -record(Type, {
      id
      ,val
    }).       %% The . is an essential part of record definition
).  %% Complains with syntax error: syntax error before: ')'

My intention is to use a macro for defining records.
?REC_DEFINE(my_rec).

Is there an escape character that the preprocessor can be give for the dot?

Thanks,
Yash
