The 60 character limit in 3.14 is the maximum length of a record name,
not a PV name, right? Is there a limit on the length of the PV name,
i.e. record name plus field name? Is there a limit on the length of the
field name?



Yes 60 is the record name length.
In 3.14 there is no limit on field names. However, some CA clients may break.
