NAME

       Lire::Records - Base class for implementation of the records operator.

SYNOPSIS

	   use Lire::Records;

DESCRIPTION

       This module is the base class for implementation of the records operator. The records operator isn't an aggregator nor a group operation.
       It only collects information on each DLF records which will be included in the report.

CONSTRUCTOR

   new( %params )
       Creates a new instance of a records operator. In addition to the normal report operator parameters, the records operator takes one
       additional parameter:

       fields
	   A reference to an array containing the names of the DLF field that should be included in the report.

METHOD

   fields( [$new_fields] )
       Returns a reference to an array containing the DLF field names that will be included in the report.

       You can use the $new_fields parameter to change that value.
