This use of the term has become somewhat less important with the advent of the database and its emphasis on the table as a way of collecting record and field data. By providing the same information in the same fields in each record (so that all records are consistent), your file will be easily accessible for analysis and manipulation by a computer program.

For example, you might put the records you have on each of your customers in a file.
