Container Record
A container record is a record with fields that can be scalar type or record type.
To better explain the container record, an example is used.
Department, Engineering, Employee, ID0005, Mary, Employee, ID0006, David, Employee, ID0008, John
In this example, Employee is a base record that contains fields of String type (Employee, ID00005, Mary). The Department record contains fields of string type and records. Fields of string type are Department and Engineering. Fields of record type are the Employee record.
The base and the container records are delimited with commas, and are identified using constant field values Employee and Department.
A container record can contain more than one type of base record.
