Creating records dynamically

[Kiran Khaladkar]

hi all,
I have record name in a variable how do i create variable of that.
e.g.  (just a rough example of what the intention is)
-record(sample, {a,b}).
put_vals(T) ->
       V = #T{a =1,b=2}.

now when i call put_vals like
put_vals(sample).
it will fill the record and return the variable
The values may be passed as list to put vals like [{a,1}, {b,2}]

there is a way i found but want to know if there is any better way ..
One can write several put_vals, one each record precisely.
