INDX would have to be DBF_INLINK in the dbd file for that to work, which
I don't think its ever been. INDX can be driven by a dbput from a gui
or another record, causing the subArray record to process by process
passive-- this was the expected mode of operation when we developed it.
Maybe you had a local version at SLAC?

Hi- can someone tell me what's wrong with this record... I believe it used to work
under 3.13.6:

 db_parse returned -1
A constant, e.g. "2", in INDX works OK... was 3.13 wrong, or is 3.14? Seems like INDX
needs to support dynamic values to be useful.
thanks!
