defineStructure   Description Syntax Examples Argument Types How do I contact the AIS team?

The defineStructure function creates and initializes a new object type {newType} with the specified field names {fieldnames}. There may be one or more field names. The new type created by defineStructure can inherit from another object by specifying the include: keyword and the name of the parent object {parentName}.

(defineStructure newType include: parentName 'fieldnames...) (defclass newType include: parentName 'fieldnames...)

Here are a number of links to Lambda coding examples which contain this instruction in various use cases.
