Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

I just read the following:
The IOC can now make long string fields accessible via CA
  â Enabled by appending â$â to the field part of the PV name
      â e.g. record.NAME$
  â The â$â is a Field Modifier which changes the reported type of the PV
    from DBR_STRING to an array of DBR_CHAR
  â The â$â suffix only works on string and link fields

What does that mean?
I renamed my PV 'myStringout$':
caput myStringout$ "011234567890123456789012345678901234567890..."
caput myStringout$.NAME$ "..."

doesn't work...

Any idea?
