Hi, I think camonitor and caget use space as separator whereas utility.pv ( the current PV connection layer for BOY) uses comma as separator. Should we change it to space too?

Caget and camonitor do not display commas! (tested on win32 and linux).
Tested with CAJ CA library and the native CA (CSS 3.0.1 on Windows) - same behavior. This must be the widget itself.
Maybe I can truncate my array on the IOC side? The subArray record? (the only question is how?) (Can it receive the NORD field from the actual waveform into its own NELM field?)

At least in our installation they do:
caput STRCHAN199 abcdef, ghijk
Old : STRCHAN199 New : STRCHAN199 abcdef, ghijk
caget STRCHAN199
STRCHAN199 abcdef, ghijk
Here the comma is the last char of the first string. It does not display commas between the strings.

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.
