I don't think it's legal to construct record instances at the top level. (Even if it was, how would you refer to them?)

You'll need to wrap the record construction in a function or a macro.

Hi list,

 

I am trying to create a bunch of records in an include file, but I just can’t get it to work.

What is wrong about this hrl file

 

-record(data_ids, {data_id, mnem, descr}).

 

#data_ids{data_id=1, mnem="ONE", descr="Number one."}.

 

The compiler gives the error:

src/data_ids.hrl:5: syntax error before: '#'

 

Thanks
