Now that you mention it you are correct, TRUE does correspond to 1 and
not > 0. The CALC must evaluate to 1 or 0 for this to work correctly.
I'm not sure what the logic is for this but it does seem to me that if
the CALC does not evaluate to 1 then it is FALSE.

I was thinking that it was the other way around and that the TRUE
condition meant != 0 rather than = 1.

With the right shift then what happens when the ASGVAL = 6?
When more than 1 bit is set you may need 2 conditions to evaluate the
CALC to TRUE. When you have 6 for example >>1 the value is now 3. I
think that you may need to get the CALC to evaluate to 1 to be TRUE.

Assuming of course that it will be possible your ASGVAL may be some
value other than 1,2,4, or 8.

Sorry, I still think I am right !

I run my tests on a soft Linux IOC. The asDumpRules cmd seems to be asprules in my case. Here are my results with A=1 and A=2 following Andrew’s suggestion (A& … instead of A >> …).

With A=1 the 1rst RULE for WRITE is TRUE which is OK

With A=2 I A&2 = 2 which is NOT the TRUE value (TRUE corresponds to 1 and not to !=0):

Actually Andrew is correct. Take the "A&2" as an example, when bit 1 is TRUE

then the result of the CALC is TRUE, when bit 1 is FALSE then the result of

the CALC will be FALSE. TRUE being = 1 and FALSE being = 0.

This may be why you are seeing this problem. If you log into the IOC console

and issue this command you will see the value that CA access security thinks

your CALC expression evaluates to as shown below.

asDumpRules

ASG(ID01ds_ACTION) {

         INPA(ID01ds:AccessSecurity) value=3.000000

         RULE(1,READ,NOTRAPWRITE)

         RULE(0,WRITE,TRAPWRITE) {

                 UAG(operator)

                 HAG(local)

                 CALC("A<3") result=FALSE

         }

         RULE(0,WRITE,TRAPWRITE) {

                 UAG(flcord)

                 HAG(flctrl,local)

                 CALC("A<2") result=FALSE

         }

         RULE(1,WRITE,TRAPWRITE) {

                 UAG(sec01)

                 HAG(sec01)

                 CALC("A<1") result=FALSE

         }

         RULE(1,WRITE,TRAPWRITE) {

                 UAG(appdev)

         }

}

 Dear Andrew,



I think you are wrong. Remember that the CALC expression must return
TRUE or FALSE which will not be the case with A&2, A&4 ...

I guess my scheme is correct. Everything works except this problem
with this spiral2mgr user that I don't understand (see the table below from my previous mail). We will try to overcome it in a way or another ... unless somebody has another idea about it !!!

 You're right there, but for historical reasons the relative precedence of

 the ">>" and "=" operators are different in C and CALC, so you do need to

 change your expressions:



>             CALC("A&1=1")

 As Marty suggested "A&1" is sufficient here



>             CALC("A>>1=1")

CALC actually evaluates this as "A>>(1=1)" which is not what you
mean.  You

 could use "(A>>1)=1" but I would suggest "A&2" here instead.



>             CALC("A>>2=1")

 "A&4"



>             CALC("A>>3=1")

 "A&8"



 Using fewer operators will also parse and execute faster.

 That's because you actually sent it to tech-talk-bounces@aps., not to

tech-talk@aps., and I didn't get a chance to forward it manually
before you

 re-sent it.
