<td colspan="5" class="print">Currently there are three operations on
RecordValue within TCI: getField, setField, and getFieldNames. There is
however no operation that allows an empty record to be encoded/decoded.
It should be also possible to encode/decode empty records. This
extension is particularly helpful for quick-testing TTCN-3 code.<br />
<br />
Empty records are not handled in TCI, but can be specified in TTCN-3.

<td class="print">If a record type does not contain any fields, then
obviously it is not possible to set a field to a specific value, nor set
a field to be absent or present.<br />
<br />
But if a value of such a type is created, then it is uninitialized (see
explanation of newInstance(), clause 7.2.2.1.).<br />
<br />
This means there is no means to create an initialized value of an empty
record type. Hence, none can be used for encoding/decoding.<br />
<br />
I suggest to extend the TCI such that newly created instances of empty
record and set types are considered initialized. Either a note could be
added to the definition of newInstance() or to clause 7.2.2.11.<br />
<br />
Creating 'empty' records of arbitrary record types is not considered a
good solution as mandatory fields would still have to be
uninitialized.</td>
