>> camonitor and caget don't display commas

 

 

At least in our installation they do:

 

caput STRCHAN199 abcdef, ghijk

Old : STRCHAN199                     

New : STRCHAN199                     abcdef, ghijk

caget STRCHAN199

STRCHAN199                     abcdef, ghijk

 

Cheers -Mathias

Kay, I didn't understand your intent here:

 

But it might be better to work around this further down on the IOC:

Create just one string with the text that you want.

Since a stringin/stringout record is limited to 40 chars, use a waveform of CHAR for that custom text.

 

 

Does it differ from this method? http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2010/msg00720.php

 

I would like it to be truncated on the IOC side.
