Hi Nerses,

Have you tried using the aSub record type?  It provides up to 21 input fields 
A..U and output fields VALA..VALU which do not have to be arrays, you can just 
set the array sizes to 1 (which is the default anyway) and use them as 
scalars.  You will need to make some minor changes to your subroutine code in 
the way that it accesses the fields though; prec->a is now a pointer to the 
value in the A field, so you have to use something like *(double *)prec->a if 
FTA is DOUBLE for example.  There is documentation in the record reference 
manual at
  https://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/epics/index.php/RRM_3-14_Array_Subroutine

HTH,
