Record Resource extent

The quantity of information content as human experienced represented in the Record Resource. The method and precision of expressing the quantity of information represented in a Record Resource will vary by the kind of Record Resource being described as well as by processing economy constraints. For record sets, quantity may be expressed as number of records, or, for analogue records in particular, by the physical storage dimensions of the Record members. For individual records or record parts, quantity may be expressed in more precise terms. Use if you don't use RecordResourceExtent class and its properties for handling such information.
