Well, this may be cheating, but...


on make_record( a, b, c )

return { label1 : a, label2 : b, label3 : c }

end make_record

-- Make a record
--
set MyRecord to make_record( true, 3.1415, "abc" )

--> { label1 : true, label2 : 3.1415, label3 : "abc" }

-- Set every item of the record to ""
--
set MyRecord to make_record( "", "", "" )

--> { label1 : "", label2 : "", label3 : "" }


Otherwise, you just set each item to the value:

set label1 of MyRecord to ""
set label2 of MyRecord to ""
...



I suppose it is possible that the "resetting" could be slightly
faster by using "pattern" setting:

set MyRecord to {label1:1, label2:2, label3:3}

set {label1 of MyRecord, label2 of MyRecord, label3 of MyRecord} to ,
{"", "", ""}

MyRecord
--> {label1:"", label2:"", label3:""}
