If all that is desired to to make the record not be in alarm after

In the record instance definition.

Note that you can leave out SEVR and STAT as these are the default
values anyway.
However, at least with 3.13.9 this doesn't work. The record (a bo) is
still UDF/INVALID after booting.

In both 3.13 and 3.14 dbCommon.dbd has the definitions:
       field(STAT,DBF_MENU) {
               prompt("Alarm Status")
               special(SPC_NOMOD)
               menu(menuAlarmStat)
               initial("UDF")
       }
       field(SEVR,DBF_MENU) {
               prompt("Alarm Severity")
               special(SPC_NOMOD)
               menu(menuAlarmSevr)
               initial("INVALID")
       }

Thus the defaults are STAT=UDF and SEVR=INVALID.
