Assign RandInt to record results in error

[Sean Winfree]

 type t_Config is record
    Mod         : natural range 0 to 3;
    ...
    ...
 end record t_Config;
 
 CONFIG          : t_config;
 variable ModVar : natural range 0 to 3;
 
 ModVar     := RV.RandInt(0,3);  -- WORKS
 CONFIG.Mod := RV.RandInt(0,3);  -- ERROR

All of this is done in testbench.
Getting ModelSim error ""CONFIG" cannot be target of variable assignment statement."
Any ideas on easy work around? Being able to assign random numbers to records will
greatly reduce typing.

*never mind. issue can be deleted from forum. answer was simply CONFIG was not a variable.
