Subject: Question about length of PV names
From: Gavin Smith <[email protected]>

Hello All,

What is the character limit on the length of PV names in EPICS? I have seen things referring to 28 chars, 40 chars and 60 chars. Whilst I have sucessfully made a record with a double alphabet name (i.e. 26x2=52 chars) I am wary that other programs (such as EDM) may have different limits.

Thanks,
Gavin Smith.
