Hi Ralph,
Thank you. I should've checked the latest branch first to see the fix.
BTW - the 3.14.11 app dev guide doesn't mention the new routine dbGetAlarm which we could be using instead of dbGetSevr. I think the app dev guide is being re-written so perhaps it will be in a form that I can edit (?) for things like this.
I also got tripped up by the changes to the breakpoint tables (I now have to load my tables separately in my st.cmd instead of including them in my app's dbd since they are not monotonic (argh!)) and the little kluge about dbBptNotMonotonic is not documented in the app dev guide though it is in the release notes. I use breakpoint tables for things where I just want to interpolate and the breakpoint tables/routines are a nice API for that.
Thanks,
Stephanie
