Bug description:
With the following record in a db file

record(mbbo,"TEST:mbbo") {
	field(VAL,"Zero")
	field(ZRST,"Zero")
	field(ONST,"One")
}

I get

dbLoadRecords("test.db", "")
Error   Last token ")"
input line:     field(VAL,"Zero")
   in: path "."  file test.db line 2

I think it would be nice to be able to initialize an mbbo or mbbi record with one of the configured string values.
