Hi,
I  use a mbbo record to write a value from 0 to 255 to a binary input/output 
device. In this record the state value fields ZRVL through FFVL are all
defaulted to 0  and the state string fields ZRST through FFST are all
empty string. So, the SDEF field is initialized to 0.

When I want to write a value greater than 15 with dbpf, the value is written
in the record but I get the following message:
-> dbpf "testmbbo","100"
DBR_STRING:          Illegal Value      
value = 0 = 0x0
-> dbgf "testmbbo"
DBR_STRING:          Illegal Value      
value = 0 = 0x0

The problem is the same with unix applications like caput, caget, medm, probe...
For instance : 
sigs34(1)% probe &
enum type.
textAdjustCallback : Bad value!

sigs34(2)% caget "testmbbo"
testmbbo                       Illegal Value

This is my record
-> dbtr "testmbbo"

I couldn't find this problem in tech-talk.
I use R3.13.1
