YOu can make the strings as long as you like. You just can't set or get them through channel access then - a 40 character limit. I'm not sure that it handles this properly. Jeff or someone else should comment on that.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
I'd like to ask one more question:
Is it ok to break 40 chars limit in CALC field( or another text fields
like DESC) ?
I've changed this limit  to 200 in calcoutRecord.dbd, db_access.c and
epicsTypes.h (MAX_STRING_SIZE define) and it works ok.
