ITM/IMAS releases of Kepler provide two, built from scratch, actors for record manipulation.

1. 1. Setting values inside Record Token using recordset actor

recordset actor allows you to set/modify values inside Record Token. It works following way:

1. If there is no field inside Record Token, it will add it into Record Token

   { a = 1 } -> inputRecord -+
                             |
                              >- { a = 1, b = 2 }
                             |
   2         -> b           -+                    // I am passing value 2 into port with the name b - new 
                                                  // entry inside record will be created

2. If there is a field with given name inside Record Token, it will be replaced
   
   

   { a = 1, b = 1 } -> inputRecord -+
                                    |
                                     >- { a = 1, b = 2 }
                                    |
   2                -> b           -+             // I am passing value 2 into port with the name b - old 
                                                  // value will be replaced with new one

3. If there is a field with given name inside Record Token, the type of field may change if you pass different type in the input

    

   { a = 1, b = 1 }  -> inputRecord -+
                                     |
                                      >- { a = 1, b = { c = 2 } }
                                     |
   { c = 2 }         -> b           -+            // I am passing record { c = 2 } into port b - old value 
                                                  // will be replaced with Record Token element (nested Record Token)

4. You can modify nested Record Type values by separating names of elements with /. E.g. you can specify "a/b"
   
   

   { a = { b = 1} }  -> inputRecord -+
                                     |
                                      >- { a = 1, b = { c = 2 } }
                                     |
   2                 -> a/b         -+            // I am passing value 2 into port a/b - this time, I modify element a.b inside Record Token
                                                  // note that we have to use "/" in port name due to the fact Kepler 
                                                  // doesn't allow to use "." as name separator

recordget

This actor allows to get values from the RecordToken
