How to create GPRecordSet object to pass as an input to geoprocessing task

Question

Unable to pass value to GPRecordSet object.
Hi , I have a gp task  which requires input as a GPREcordset object  .

Details for input parameter from rest end point

Parameter: record_set
Data Type: GPRecordSet
Display Name: record_set
Direction: esriGPParameterDirectionInput
Default Value: 
Fields: 
 OBJECTID (Type: esriFieldTypeOID, Alias: OBJECTID) 
 Add_line (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: Add_line) 
 state (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: state) 
 city (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: city) 
 zip (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: zip) 
 zip_4 (Type: esriFieldTypeString, Alias: zip_4) 
Parameter Type: esriGPParameterTypeRequired

I need to create this GPRecordset object in javascript to pass it to the GP task 
Code snipplet 
I tried 
feature_set = { 
       "features" : 
       [
         {      
          "attributes" : {"Add_line":"303 Kulana St","state":"HI","city":"Hilo","zip":"96720","zip_4":"2266"}
           
        },
        {      
        "attributes" : {"Add_line":"303 Kulana St","state":"HI","city":"Hilo","zip":"96720","zip_4":"2266"}
         
        }
        ]
     };
var featureSet = new esri.tasks.FeatureSet(feature_set); 
  
 var params = {"record_set":featureSet};
 gp.submitJob(params, completeUploadCallback , statusUploadCallback,errorAlert);

The job is successfully submitted , but as soon as it goes to the arcgis server , it fails . I  m able to run the geoprocessing service thru ArcMap by passing the features interactively but I m not able to properly set the FeatureSet object  in javascript. 
How can a  GPRecordSet object be created  for an input to geoprocessing service  and passed through Javascript ?

Hi , 
Thnx for your help . i saw the sample and understand GPRecordSet is a featureset object without geometry. My challenge is , i read a file and am trying to create featureset object with the data from the file .
i.e Manually creating featureset object . Saw the featureSet API and that is what i m trying to create 
feature_set = { 
       "features" : 
       [
         {      
          "attributes" : {"OBJECTID":1,"Add_line":"303 Kulana St","state":"HI","city":"Hilo","zip":"96720","zip_4":"2266"}
           
        },
        {      
        "attributes" : {"OBJECTID":2,"Add_line":"303 Kulana St","state":"HI","city":"Hilo","zip":"96720","zip_4":"2266"}
         
        }
        ]
     };

var featureSet = new esri.tasks.FeatureSet(feature_set);

i just need some help in knowing whether what i m doing is correct way to create a FeatureSet object or if i m missing something?

var features =[];
var feature1=new Graphic();
feature2.setAttributes({"OBJECTID":1,"Add_line":"303 Kulana St","state":"HI","city":"Hilo","zip":"96720","zip_4":"2266"});
features.push(feature1);
var feature1=new Graphic();
feature2.setAttributes {"OBJECTID":2,"Add_line":"303 Kulana St","state":"HI","city":"Hilo","zip":"96720","zip_4":"2266"});
features.push(feature2);
var featureSet = new esri.tasks.FeatureSet(); 
featureSet.features = features;

Look at the ESRI sample: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples/gp_clipasync.html. The only difference is that the GPRecordSet is equivalent to JS API FeatureSet without geometry. For example, if you do a querytask with Query.retureGeometry =false, the result is equivalent to GPRecordSet.
