Incomputer science, astorage record is:

• A group of related data, words, or fields treated as a meaningful unit; for instance, a Name, Address, and Telephone Number can be a "Personal Record".
• A self-contained collection of information about a single object; a record is made up of a number of distinct items, called fields.

Inrecord-oriented filesystems, arecord is a basic unit of device-to-program data transfers. "A storage record is the direct result of transforming a logical record to an actual storage format."^[1] Files in record-oriented filesystems are structured collections of records. Records may have a fixed length or variable length.

InUnix-like systems, a number of programs (for example,awk,join, andsort) are designed to process data consisting of records (calledlines) each separated bynewlines, where each record may contain a number of fields separated by spaces, commas, or some other character.
