>Is it possible to directly reference system variables (e.g.
>:system.record_status) in a PLL library procedure?

You have to indirectly reference the variable (and any other forms object) using NAME_IN

In your example

my_var := name_in('system.record_status');

Note the variable name is in quotes and without the colon.

Use copy(value,variable) to assign new values.

Note in both cases the datatype of the value will be character.

See on-line help!
