my client returned double. I looked into code. Code has DRVH as double. It means record
manual has mistakes.

If you look at the date and EPICS version number on your Record Reference Manual, you'll probably see that it dates back to 1998 and EPICS R3.13. Unfortunately it has not been kept up to date, and there have been many changes to the record fields since then. No one seems willing to update it, and the core developers are all too busy to do it themselves.
