I have an application where a sequence is started with either of two station 
names, i.e. the macro name STN is substituted as either HB60 or LB60. Some 
channels are mapped to BIT-3 shared memory and some private data in some of those 
records is needed to map some (non channel) structures appropriately.

I see a way to use the macValueGet call to get the appropriate substitution for 
STN, and can generate the name from that. However, the interesting data in the 
seqChan structure generated by the sequencer holds, among other things, the 
channel name. The correct name can be indexed through the value obtained from 
pvIndex. This name is, unfortunately, not a "macro substituted" name.

When looking at attached channels with seqChanShow, both the raw and substituted 
names are shown. Is there a simple (even if undocumented) call which will return 
the substituted name?

Thanks.
