We at SLAC restore waveforms at IOC boot time.  We've modified fdbrestore.c to use ca_array_put.

Subject: How to initialize waveform record


Greetings.

I have an application which wants to use a waveform record as
a lookup table.  The initial values of the record would need to
be written once at IOC boot time.  It would be suitable to use
something like 'dbpf' in the startup script, but I can't seem
to find a syntax that writes to array elements greater than 
index 1.  From a Solaris host, I can do

caput MY:ARRAY:RECORD 123 456 789

and all the values get written.  Any comparable method using
the vxWorks shell?  Or, better still, if I could supply a set
of default values at record initialization.

Thanks,

	---   rod.
