Create a record array in VBA - vba

Question

I want to create a record array in VBA, for example like this:
Index Name Age
0 Anton 40
1 Bert 35
... ... ...
9 Julia 20
I did a quick and dirty implementation using two arrays:
Dim arrName(0 to 9) as String
Dim arrAge(0 to 9) as Integer
arrName(0) = "Anton"
arrName(1) = "Bert"
arrAge(0) = 40
arrAge(1) = 35
I could also do it as a 2-dimensional array but I'm trying to avoid using the data type variant. ("for reasons" which wouldn't benefit the question if I would explain them in length).
I thought VBA would have some kind of record data type implemented but searching for data record, data collection, etc. but most results refer me to an implementation using objects e.g. this, which would be fine but I want to keep the code as "simple as possible" without introducing objects for data storage (yes, I know that worksheets are objects as well, I'm still trying to avoid it).
Isn't there record as a data type implemented in VBA or am just using the wrong keyword for my search? A little pointer would be appreciated very much.

Try with Type:
Type rec
Index As Long
Name As String
Age As Byte
End Type
Sub test1()
Dim arr(0 To 9) As rec
With arr(0)
.Index = 0
.Name = "Anton"
.Age = 40
End With
With arr(1)
.Index = 1
.Name = "Bert"
.Age = 35
End With
Debug.Print "Index", "Name", "Age"
For i = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
Debug.Print arr(i).Index, arr(i).Name, arr(i).Age
Next
End Sub
Index Name Age
0 Anton 40
1 Bert 35
0 0
0 0
0 0
0 0
0 0
