When you declare the record properly:

   TDataHeader = record
     sequence_crc_Ptr,
     sequence_key_Ptr,
     compr_crc_Ptr: PInt64;
     compr_len_Ptr: PLongInt;
   end;

then its size depends on the size of an pointer. In 32 bit code the 
record size will be 16 bytes, in 64 bit code 32 bytes. But since the 
incoming data array has a fixed alignment, more wizardry is required to 
match precisely that layout in OPL.
