Thank you Eric,

I needed both modifications:

1) char debus[40];  ==>  string debus;
(which I did not try before)
And
2) sprintf  ==>  strcpy
(which I had tried already)

Good to hear that things are working.

Actually, sprintf should work fine -- but as a general recommendation,

I would suggest using epicsSnprintf instead. Prototype is in

epicsStdio.h.

Advantages include:
	- Portable across all architectures on which EPICS runs
	- Avoids buffer overruns
