I'm sorry, there is a mistake. To prevent XRecord_RecordOriginatorID
and XRecord_RecordCount match anywhere I believe you should mark them
as contained elements like this:
:syntax match ARecord_RecordCount ".\{9}"
nextgroup=ARecord_OriginatorID contained
:syntax match ARecord_OriginatorID ".\{10}" contained
