Aloha,
Does EPICS 3.13 permit more than four chars for record
field names when designing a new record? Does this require
changing the value of FLDNAME_SZ defined in dbDefs.h?
The following comment seems to indicate that more than
four chars for a field name is *not* possible. (The comment
is from dbDefs.h)
./dbDefs.h:/* FLDNAME_SZ must be 4 */
./dbDefs.h:#define FLDNAME_SZ 4 /*Field Name Size */
I have been able to compile a record with field names greater
than 4 chars but am concerned that other utilities within EPICS
might not be compatible with this change.
Mahalo,
Rosemary.
