Just thinking aloud...

I remember a number of situations where users were complaining about not

being able to set array data from within the .db file. (To specify

default values for waveform or compress records.)

Right now I am facing (reviewing) design documents of device support for

a very versatile card that supports routing its inputs and outputs to a

multitude of PCI/PCIe backplane signals. Stuff that cries for mbbi/mbbo

type records that are not limited to 16 states. If option strings,

values, severities were arrays, such records might be fairly easy to

implement.

Has extending the DB syntax to cover array data been considered at some

point?

Cheers,
