It seems non-trivial to manipulate lengthy strings in an IOC (use waveform record?) so I was thinking it might be easier to create device support that reads in a file of pre-canned messages on start-up and then have an output record pass to device support an index to one of these messages.
However I can also think of other ways to do this, e.g. an external script that monitors a particular record via Channel Access and does the appropriate things when it sees a change.
Depending on where you need this (whatever the appropriate thing is) done you may be ble to use the alarm handler for this.
I am open to ideas. Thanks,

p.s. What type of person write to Tech-talk at 10:00 PM ???
It's only 18:30 where I am. Working at a telescope I can think of good occasions to write to tech-talk late at night.
