Shouldn't this be,

Local Record &Rec;
&Rec = CreateRecord(Record.LNT_EMPREC_970);
&Rec.LNT_EMPLID_970 = &e;
&Rec.LNT_DATE_970 = &bb.shift();
&Rec.LNT_NAME1_970 = &bb.shift();
&Rec.LNT_DEPARTMENT_970 = &bb.shift();
&Rec.LNT_ADDRESS1_970 = &bb.shift();
&Rec.LNT_PHONE1_970 = &bb.shift();

&Rec.Insert();

&Rec is created as Standalone record.

So Code should be like below
Local Record &Rec;
&Rec = CreateRecord(Record.LNT_EMPREC_970);
&Rec.LNT_EMPLID_970 = &e;
&Rec.LNT_DATE_970 = &bb.shift();
&Rec.LNT_NAME1_970 = &bb.shift();
&Rec.LNT_DEPARTMENT_970 = &bb.shift();
&Rec.LNT_ADDRESS1_970 = &bb.shift();
&Rec.LNT_PHONE1_970 = &bb.shift();
&Rec.Insert();

Reason for using &Rec variable for accessing the fields.

The fields created by Create Record function are initialized to null values. Default processing is not performed. No data associated with the record definition’s SQL table is brought in: only the record definition.

Example for Usage of Standalone Record
In the following example, a free-standing record is created (&PSBATREPREQRES). Values are assigned to the fields associated with the record. Then a second record is created (&PUBHDR), and the values from the first record are used to populate the second record.

&PSBATREPREQRES = CreateRecord(RECORD.PSBATREPREQRES);
&PSBATREPREQRES.BATREPID.Value = &BATREPID;
&PSBATREPREQRES.PUBID.Value = &MSG.Pubid;
&PSBATREPREQRES.CHNLNAME.Value = &MSG.ChannelName;
&PSBATREPREQRES.PUBNODE.Value = &MSG.PubNodeName;
&PSBATREPREQRES.MSGNAME.Value = &MSG.Name;

&PUBHDR = CreateRecord(RECORD.PSAPMSGPUBHDR);
&PSBATREPREQRES.CopyFieldsTo(&PUBHDR);

awesome things here. I am very glad to see your article. Thanks a lot and i am looking forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a mail?
