I will attmpt to make it clear

in 3.14 - you database allows you to have 60 character
names

channel access allows you to search for much longer names

but......

you cannot change the fields within the database that may
refer to names that are longer than 40 characters as the
channel access type dbr_string is configured to be 40
characters.
This means that you can define the database to link any of
these 60 character named records together - but you cannot
change them over channel access during operation.
The caution for channel access clients must also be
heeded. It is unclear that all of the clients have been
tested with the longer names.
